Biomimetic and bio‐inspired membranes draw great attention and generate extensive efforts
to solve environmental, health, and energy issues. In this field, track‐etched membranes …

From the stability of colloidal suspensions to the charging of electrodes, electric double
layers play a pivotal role in aqueous systems. The interactions between interfaces, water …

Understanding and controlling the flow of water confined in nanopores has tremendous
implications in theoretical studies and industrial applications. Here, we propose a simple …

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 …

This review discusses the use of the combination of surface roughness and hydrophobicity
for engineering large slip at the fluid-solid interface. These superhydrophobic surfaces were …

The unique and tunable properties of carbon-based nanomaterials enable new
technologies for identifying and addressing environmental challenges. This review critically …

While the behaviour of large amounts of liquid is dictated by gravity, surface forces become
dominant at small scales. They have for example the remarkable ability to make droplets …

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 …

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