Agricultural development, extensive industrialization, and rapid growth of the global
population have inadvertently been accompanied by environmental pollution. Water …

Classical dynamical density functional theory (DDFT) is one of the cornerstones of modern
statistical mechanics. It is an extension of the highly successful method of classical density …

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

The origin of ion current rectification observed at conical-shaped nanopores in glass
membranes immersed in KCl solutions has been investigated using finite-element …

In this work we describe for the first time the integration of “smart” polymer brushes into
single conical nanopores to obtain a new highly functional signal-responsive chemical …

Nanopores are extremely sensitive single-molecule sensors. Recently, electron beams have
been used to fabricate synthetic nanopores in thin solid-state membranes with …

Transport of ions through pores in membranes is a process of fundamental importance to
cell biology. In living organisms, such transport is facilitated by ion channels that utilize the …

The peculiarity of ion transport at the nanoscale is revealed through electrophysiological
studies of two biological ion channels: the cation-selective bacterial porin-OmpF and the …

The envelope protein E of the SARS-CoV coronavirus is an archetype of viroporin. It is a
small hydrophobic protein displaying ion channel activity that has proven highly relevant in …

The method of producing single track-etched conical nanopores has received considerable
attention and found many applications in diverse fields such as biosensing, nanofluidics …
