With rising popularity of microscale thermophoresis for the characterisation of protein-ligand
binding reactions and possible applications in microfluidic devices, there is a growing …

Salinity energy generation (SEG) studies have only been done under isothermal conditions
at ambient temperature. The production of salinity energy can be improved under non …

Nanopores enable label-free detection and analysis of single biomolecules. Here, we
investigate DNA translocations through a novel type of plasmonic nanopore based on a gold …

The influence of the temperature-and concentration-dependent properties, derived from the
gradients of temperature and concentration, on the ionic selectivity, ionic current rectification …

Some geothermal formations may contain a large concentration of CO2 and a very high
vertical temperature gradient. It is likely that there may be significant variation in the CO2 …

This study delves into the profound implications of different electric field types, namely DC
and AC with a sinusoidal waveform, on ion transport within intelligent soft nanochannels …

Thermo-osmotic slip—the flow induced by a thermal gradient along a surface—is a well-
known phenomenon, but curiously there is a lack of robust molecular-simulation techniques …

Amyloid fibrils are a hallmark of a range of neurodegenerative disorders, including
Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. A detailed understanding of the physico-chemical …

When light is used to excite electronic transitions in a material, nonradiative energy during
relaxation is often released in the form of heat. In this work, we show that photoexcitation of a …

Optical manipulation of micro/nanoscale objects is of importance in life sciences, colloidal
science, and nanotechnology. Optothermal tweezers exhibit superior manipulation …
