Microfabricated integrated circuits revolutionized computation by vastly reducing the space,
labor, and time required for calculations. Microfluidic systems hold similar promise for the …

The evolution from microfluidic to nanofluidic systems has been accompanied by the
emergence of new fluid phenomena and the potential for new nanofluidic devices. This …

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 …

Starting from the background of nanofluidics in other disciplines, this paper describes the
present state of research in this field and discusses possible directions of development …

This paper gives an overview of the most commonly used techniques for nanostructuring
and nanochannel fabrication employed in nanofluidics. They are divided into two large …

The successful design of nanofluidic devices for the manipulation of biopolymers requires
an understanding of how the predictions of soft condensed matter physics scale with device …

Recent developments in micro-and nanotechnologies made possible the fabrication of
devices integrating a deterministic network of nanochannels, ie, with at least one dimension …

Miniaturization to the micrometer and nanometer scale opens up the possibility to probe
biology on a length scale where fundamental biological processes take place, such as the …

In this paper transport through nanochannels is assessed, both of liquids and of dissolved
molecules or ions. First, we review principles of transport at the nanoscale, which will involve …
