Pumping of fluids confined to nanometer dimension spaces is a technically challenging yet
vitally important technological application with far reaching consequences for lab-on-a-chip
devices, biomimetic nanoscale reactors, nanoscale filtration devices and the like. All current
pumping mechanisms require some sort of direct intrusion into the nanofluidic system, and
involve mechanical or electronic components. In this paper, we present the first
nonequilibrium molecular dynamics results to demonstrate that non-intrusive …
