Research on 2D nanomaterials is rising to an unprecedented height and will continue to
remain a very important topic in materials science. In parallel with the discovery of new …

Manipulating fluids at varying length scales and understanding their underlying mechanisms
are significant for interdisciplinary studies of physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering; …

Recently, hydrovoltaic technology emerged as a novel renewable energy harvesting
method, which dramatically extends the capability to harvest water energy. However, the …

Acoustic actuation of fluids at small scales may finally enable a comprehensive lab-on-a-
chip revolution in microfluidics, overcoming long-standing difficulties in fluid and particle …

Nanotechnology has finally and firmly entered the realm of drug delivery. Performances of
intelligent drug delivery systems are continuously improved with the purpose to maximize …

Abstract Exfoliated two-dimensional (2D) sheets can readily stack to form flexible, free-
standing films with lamellar microstructure. The interlayer spaces in such lamellar films form …

Electrolytes confined in nanochannels with characteristic dimensions comparable to the
Debye length show transport behaviors deviating from their bulk counterparts. Fabrication of …

The Kirkendall effect is a consequence of the different diffusivities of atoms in a diffusion
couple causing a supersaturation of lattice vacancies. This supersaturation may lead to a …

Achieving a high rate of ionic transport through porous membranes and ionic channels is
important in numerous applications ranging from energy storage to water desalination, but it …

In this review we present methods for preparation of nano inorganic materials in which metal–
organic coordination polymers are used as precursors. Here we summarize the effects of …
