The integration of constriction structures such as nanopores and nanochannels into fluidic
devices discloses powerful biosensing capabilities that can be tuned to a wide range of …

What are the fundamental laws for the adsorption of charged polymers onto oppositely
charged surfaces, for convex, planar, and concave geometries? This question is at the heart …

We explore the escape dynamics of active ring polymers confined in a cylindrical
nanochannel using Brownian dynamics. Our simulation results show that the escape time …

The development of a nanofluidic energy harvesting system plays a fundamental role in
harvesting osmotic power from Gibbs free energy within the salt concentration gradient …

The wormlike-chain model is commonly used to describe the statistical properties of DNA
and liquid-crystal polymers. Following the Green's function approach, here we present the …

Plasmonic nanoantennas are ideal for single molecule detection since they nano-focus the
light beyond diffraction and enhance the optical fields by several orders of magnitude. But …

We present the first detailed experimental observation and analysis of nanoparticle
electrophoresis through a nanochannel obtained with synchronous high-bandwidth …

Protein folding under force is an integral source of generating mechanical energy in various
cellular processes, ranging from protein translation to degradation. Although chaperones …

Monte Carlo simulations are used to study the conformational properties of a folded
semiflexible polymer confined to a long channel. We measure the variation in the …

DsbA is a ubiquitous bacterial oxidoreductase that associates with substrates during and
after translocation, yet its involvement in protein folding and translocation remains an open …
