The increase of energy demand added to the concern for environmental pollution linked to
energy generation based on the combustion of fossil fuels has motivated the study and …

Ion transport and hydrodynamic flow through nanometer-sized channels (nanopores) have
been increasingly studied owing to not only the fundamental interest in the abundance of …

Abstract Systems that are intelligent have the ability to sense their surroundings, analyze,
and respond accordingly. In nature, many biological systems are considered intelligent (eg …

Experiments have shown that the conductance of conical channels, filled with an aqueous
electrolyte, can strongly depend on the history of the applied voltage. These channels hence …

Nature provides a huge range of biological materials, just as ion channels, with various
smart functions over millions of years of evolution, and which serve as a big source of bio …

Neuromorphic systems are gaining increasing importance in an era where CMOS digital
computing techniques are reaching physical limits. These silicon systems mimic extremely …

The transport of fluid in and around nanometer-sized objects with at least one characteristic
dimension below 100 nm enables the occurrence of phenomena that are impossible at …

In nanopore analytics, individual molecules pass through a single nanopore giving rise to
detectable temporary blockades in ionic pore current. Reflecting its simplicity, nanopore …

Biological ion channels intelligently controlling ions across cell membranes serve as a big
source of bio-inspiration for the scientists to build bio-inspired smart solid-state nanopores …

Biomimetic solid-state nanochannels enable new modalities for biosensing. In the last
