Proteins perform a huge number of central functions in living organisms, thus all the new
techniques allowing their precise, fast and accurate characterization at single-molecule level …

Mechanosensitivity is one of the essential functionalities of biological ion channels.
Synthesizing an artificial nanofluidic system to mimic such sensations will not only improve …

Nanopores are powerful tools for single‐molecule sensing of biomolecules and
nanoparticles. The signal coming from the molecule to be analyzed strongly depends on its …

Water desalination becomes an increasingly important approach for clean water supply to
meet the rapidly growing demand of population boost, industrialization, and urbanization …

Solid-state nanopores constitute a versatile platform for study of ion transport in
nanoconfinement. The electrical double layer (EDL) plays a vital role in such …

Recent experimental work has suggested that electroosmotic flows (EOFs) through conical
nanopores exhibit rectification in the opposite sense to the well-studied effect of ionic current …

The resistive pulse method based on measuring the ion current trace as a biomolecule
passing through a nanopore has become an important tool in biotechnology for …

Double-stranded DNA translocates through sufficiently large nanopores either in a linear
single-file fashion or in a folded hairpin conformation when captured somewhere along its …

Studies of DNA translocation through graphene nanopores have revealed their potential for
DNA sequencing. Here we report a study of protein translocation through chemically …

We carry out extensive direct path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) simulations of the uniform
electron gas (UEG) at finite temperature for different values of the spin-polarization ξ. This …
