In the field of cell studies, there is a burgeoning trend to further downscale the investigation
from a single-cell level to a sub-single-cell level. Subcellular matter is the basic content in …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) enable extremely fast water transport that make them strong
candidates for constructing artificial nanochannels and membranes. However, water …

We report that the atomic-scale vibrational coupling at the solid-fluid interface can
substantially alter the interfacial properties such as wettability and fluid slip. The wettability of …

The shape of a nanochannel significantly affects mass transport. This study provides a new
nanochannel model made from a concentric-twin tube (CTT), which can be made by …

Most of the literature on flow through nanoporous two-dimensional membranes has focused
on static membranes under quasiequilibrium conditions. However, various studies have …

Single‐molecule experiments allow understanding of the diversity, stochasticity, and
heterogeneity of molecular behaviors and properties hidden by conventional ensemble …

Water transport through nanochannels has significant potential applications. In spite of the
various water-pump systems reported over the past two decades, challenges remain in …

The presence of a capillary bridge between solid surfaces is ubiquitous under ambient
conditions. Usually, it leads to a continuous decrease of friction as a function of bridge …

In this chapter, Nano-in-Nano Integration was introduced as the progress of functional
nanofluidic devices. Most contemporary nanofluidic devices use bare nanochannels without …

Nanofluidics is a rapidly growing field centered on the transport phenomena of fluids and
ions in nanopores and membranes. In this thesis, we examine the impact of vibrational …
