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

Much more than ever, nucleic acids are recognized as key building blocks in many of lifeʼs
processes, and the science of studying these molecular wonders at the single-molecule …

The authors review recent advances in the physics of strongly interacting charged systems
functioning in water at room temperature. In these systems, many phenomena go beyond …

Solid-state nanopores are sensors capable of analysing individual unlabelled DNA
molecules in solution. Although the critical information obtained from nanopores (for …

Osmosis is a universal phenomenon occurring in a broad variety of processes and fields. It
is the archetype of entropic forces, both trivial in its fundamental expression–the van't Hoff …

The dramatic recent advances in molecular biology, which have opened a new era in
medicine and biotechnology, rely on improved techniques to study large molecules …

Among the variety of roles for nanopores in biology, an important one is enabling polymer
transport, for example in gene transfer between bacteria and transport of RNA through the …

In this review, we cover recent advances in microfluidic colloid separation enabled by
diffusiophoresis. Diffusiophoresis describes the motion of colloidal particles induced by local …

The application of microfluidics to biotechnology is an exciting new area that has already
begun to revolutionize how researchers study and manipulate macromolecules like DNA …

A reflection of the significant advances in the field, this book discusses the macromolecular
basis of polymer translocation that have emerged based on experimentation, new models …
