Not all nanopores are created equal. By definition, nanopores have characteristic diameters
or conduit widths between∼ 1 and 100 nm. However, the narrowest of such pores, perhaps …

As the threat of global water scarcity continues to grow, a myriad of scientific effort is directed
towards advancing water desalination technologies. Reverse osmosis (RO), solar thermal …

The efficient handling of wastewater pollutants is a must, since they are continuously defiling
limited fresh water resources, seriously affecting the terrestrial, aquatic, and aerial flora and …

Water is an essential participant in the stability, structure, dynamics, and function of proteins
and other biomolecules. Thermodynamically, changes in the aqueous environment affect …

Efficient desalination of water continues to be a problem facing the society. Advances in
nanotechnology have led to the development of a variety of nanoporous membranes for …

Controlled transport of water molecules through membranes and capillaries is important in
areas as diverse as water purification and healthcare technologies,,,,,–. Previous attempts to …

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 …

This Review explores the dynamic behavior of water within nanopores and biological
channels in lipid bilayer membranes. We focus on molecular simulation studies, alongside …
