Directional fluid motion driven by the surface property of solid substrate is highly desirable
for manipulating microfluidic liquid and collecting water from humid air. Studies on such …

Releasing fluids from nanochannels is quite challenging, yet crucial for the application of
nanofluidic systems, eg drug delivery and nanoprinting. Previous work suggests that the …

This book provides an introduction to nanofluidics in a simple manner and can be easily
followed by senior undergraduate students, graduate students, and other researchers who …

Using nanoporous ceramic composite membranes to remove sulphur dioxide and to recover
water vapor in flue gas is a new method, and this paper studied the effects of sulphur dioxide …

In this paper, we describe the design, fabrication and functional principle of microfluidic
diodes–devices for directional liquid transport. They are passive (ie, need no external …

Rapid removal of small-sized droplets passively using fixed structures is a key challenge for
various applications including anti-icing, rapid cooling, and water harvesting. In this work …

Spontaneous directional transport of droplets by a surface curvature gradient, adopted by
many biological species such as cactus and sand moss, is particularly suitable for …

In this work, we propose a nanofluidic diode for simple fluids using non-uniform
nanochannels. Molecular dynamics simulations show that the fluidic diode allows water …

Lab-on-Chip is currently considered the technology with the potential to revolutionize future
biochemical analysis providing miniaturized, low-reagent volume microchips as an …
