Behind the dogmas of good old hydrodynamics

This small "nuance" was a timely discovery, as such sciences as microfluidics and nanofluidics deal with fluid flowing through ultrathin channels. And it is difficult to drive flows mechanically in extremely thin channels, even by applying a pressure ...

Surface processing technology to prevent adhesion

At present, most liquid (water and oil) repellent processing depends on processing by organic fluorine compounds or micro-fabrication of the surface. However, organic fluorine compounds have high production and disposal costs, and micro-fabrication ...

Scientists Build Graphene Trap For Hopping Protons

Although graphene is only one atom thick, it is incredibly strong, which is why we call it the nanomaterial of the new millennium. Until now, graphene was thought to be impermeable, limiting its use as a membrane. The researchers found that defects in ...
