Liquid/vapour interfaces govern the behaviour of a wide range of systems but remain poorly
understood, leaving ample margin for the exploitation of intriguing functionalities for …

Osmosis across membranes is intrinsically associated with the concept of semipermeability.
Here, however, we demonstrate that osmotic flow can be generated by solute gradients …

Nanoconfinement can drastically change the behavior of liquids, puzzling us with
counterintuitive properties. It is relevant in applications, including decontamination and …

We propose a new approach to desalination of water whereby a pressure difference across
a vapor-trapping nanopore induces selective transport of water by isothermal evaporation …

Conspectus Nanofluidics is the study of fluids under nanoscale confinement, where small-
scale effects dictate fluid physics and continuum assumptions are no longer fully valid. At …

Osmosis describes the flow of water across semipermeable membranes powered by the
chemical free energy extracted from salinity gradients. While osmosis can be expressed in …

The properties and behavior of solvents and solutes inside a nanofluidic structure are not
the same as in the bulk solution, but instead are strongly determined by the interactions of …

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

Fast ion permeation in nanofluidic channels has been intensively investigated in the past
few decades because of their potential uses in separation technologies and osmotic energy …

This review is devoted to discussing recent progress on the structure, thermodynamic,
reactivity, and dynamics of water and aqueous systems confined within different types of …
