Electroosmosis is a fascinating effect where liquid motion is induced by an applied electric
field. Counter ions accumulate in the vicinity of charged surfaces, triggering a coupling …

Proteins perform a huge number of central functions in living organisms, thus all the new
techniques allowing their precise, fast and accurate characterization at single-molecule level …

In this work, we study the wetting of a surface decorated with one nanogroove by a bulk
Lennard-Jones liquid at various temperatures and densities. We used atomistic simulations …

Fluid flow in miniature devices is often characterized by a boundary “slip” at the wall, as
opposed to the classical paradigm of a “no-slip” boundary condition. While the traditional …

Bioinspired superhydrophobic surfaces have attracted great interest from fundamental
research to engineering applications. The stability, design, and regulation of …

Understanding and controlling interface friction are central to many science and engineering
applications. However, frictional sliding is closely related to adhesion, surface roughness …

Nanopores are emerging as powerful tools for biosensing at a single molecule level, and
their characterization under different working conditions is crucial for applications. In this …

The hydrodynamics of a flagellated micro-organism is investigated when swimming close to
a planar free-slip surface by means of numerical solutions of the Stokes equations obtained …

This work incorporates machine learning (ML) techniques, such as multivariate regression,
the multi-layer perceptron, and random forest to predict the slip length at the nanoscale …

The slip and friction behavior of n-hexadecane, confined between organic friction modifier
surfactant films adsorbed on hematite surfaces, has been studied using nonequilibrium …
