Nanofluidics has emerged recently in the footsteps of microfluidics, following the quest for
scale reduction inherent to nanotechnologies. By definition, nanofluidics explores transport …

Microfabricated integrated circuits revolutionized computation by vastly reducing the space,
labor, and time required for calculations. Microfluidic systems hold similar promise for the …

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 …

We report gas and water flow measurements through microfabricated membranes in which
aligned carbon nanotubes with diameters of less than 2 nanometers serve as pores. The …

Physics and Chemistry of Interfaces Comprehensive textbook on the interdisciplinary field of
interface science, fully updated with new content on wetting, spectroscopy, and coatings …

For several centuries fluid dynamics studies have relied upon the assumption that when a
liquid flows over a solid surface, the liquid molecules adjacent to the solid are stationary …

We present here a brief review of direct force measurements between hydrophobic surfaces
in aqueous solutions. For almost 70 years, researchers have attempted to understand the …

The no-slip boundary condition at a solid-liquid interface is at the center of our
understanding of fluid mechanics. However, this condition is an assumption that cannot be …

Nano-bubbles have recently been observed experimentally on smooth hydrophobic
surfaces; cracks on a surface can likewise be the site of bubbles when partially wetting fluids …

The interaction between deformable drops or bubbles encompasses a number of
distinguishing characteristics not present in the interaction between solid bodies. The drops …
