The atomic force microscope (AFM) is not only a tool to image the topography of solid
surfaces at high resolution. It can also be used to measure force-versus-distance curves …

Low salinity waterflooding (LSW) has been proved to be a promising technique in improving
oil recovery for both sandstone and carbonate reservoirs. Sandstone and carbonate are two …

In this report, the status quo and recent progress in electrokinetics are reviewed. Practical
rules are recommended for performing electrokinetic measurements and interpreting their …

Adsorption to solid–water interfaces is a major process governing the fate of waterborne
viruses in natural and engineered systems. The relative contributions of different interaction …

Manipulation of nano-objects at the microscale is of great technological importance for
constructing new functional materials, manipulating tiny amounts of fluids, reconfiguring …

The formation mechanisms of silver nanoparticles using aqueous silver perchlorate
solutions as precursors and sodium borohydride as reducing agent were investigated based …

The force between silica surfaces in NaCl, KCl and CsCl aqueous solutions is studied at pH
5.5 using an atomic force microscope (AFM). As ion concentration is increased, more cations …

Abstract Soils in the Oxisols, Ultisols, Alfisols, Spodosols and Andisols orders that are rich in
constituents with surface reactive groups with amphoteric properties are considered variable …

Herein we demonstrate a fully abiotic smart single‐nanopore device that rectifies ionic
current in response to the temperature. The temperature‐responsive nanopore ionic rectifier …

The potential diagram for field-effect transistors used to detect charged biological
macromolecules in an electrolyte is presented for the case where an insulating cover layer is …
