Nanofluidics has emerged recently in the footsteps of microfluidics, following the quest for
scale reduction inherent to nanotechnologies. By definition, nanofluidics explores transport …

Microfabricated integrated circuits revolutionized computation by vastly reducing the space,
labor, and time required for calculations. Microfluidic systems hold similar promise for the …

The atomic force microscope (AFM) is not only a tool to image the topography of solid
surfaces at high resolution. It can also be used to measure force-versus-distance curves …

A general introduction to surface and interfacial forces, perfectly combining theoretical
concepts, experimental techniques and practical applications. In this completely updated …

For several centuries fluid dynamics studies have relied upon the assumption that when a
liquid flows over a solid surface, the liquid molecules adjacent to the solid are stationary …

The no-slip boundary condition at a solid-liquid interface is at the center of our
understanding of fluid mechanics. However, this condition is an assumption that cannot be …

Nano-bubbles have recently been observed experimentally on smooth hydrophobic
surfaces; cracks on a surface can likewise be the site of bubbles when partially wetting fluids …

The interaction between deformable drops or bubbles encompasses a number of
distinguishing characteristics not present in the interaction between solid bodies. The drops …

While many recent studies have confirmed the existence of liquid slip over certain solid
surfaces, there has not been a deliberate effort to design and fabricate a surface that would …

We present a quantum description of a planar microcavity photon mode strongly coupled to
a semiconductor intersubband transition in presence of a two-dimensional electron gas. We …
