Critical Casimir levitation of colloids above a bull's-eye pattern
Piotr Nowakowski, Nima Farahmand Bafi, Giovanni Volpe +2
Critical Casimir forces emerge among particles or surfaces immersed in a near-critical fluid, with the sign of the force determined by surface properties and with its strength tuna…
Nanoalignment by Critical Casimir Torques
Gan Wang, Piotr Nowakowski, Nima Farahmand Bafi +7
The manipulation of microscopic objects requires precise and controllable forces and torques. Recent advances have led to the use of critical Casimir forces as a powerful tool, whi…
Crowding-Regulated Binding of Divalent Biomolecules
Tomasz Skóra, Mathijs Janssen, Andreas Carlson +1
Macromolecular crowding affects biophysical processes as diverse as diffusion, gene expression, cell growth, and senescence. Yet, there is no comprehensive understanding of how cro…
Optimising nanoporous supercapacitors for heat-to-electricity conversion
Mathijs Janssen, Taras Verkholyak, Andrij Kuzmak +1
Innovative ways of harnessing sustainable energy are needed to meet the world's ever-increasing energy demands. Supercapacitors may contribute, as they can convert waste heat to el…
Capacitive energy storage in single-file pores: Exactly-solvable models and simulations
Taras Verkholyak, Andrij Kuzmak, Svyatoslav Kondrat
Understanding charge storage in low-dimensional electrodes is crucial for developing novel ecologically friendly devices for capacitive energy storage and conversion, water desalin…
Symmetrizing cathode-anode response to speed up charging of nanoporous supercapacitors
Tangming Mo, Liang Zeng, Zhenxiang Wang +2
Asymmetric behaviors of capacitance and charging dynamics in the cathode and anode are general for nanoporous supercapacitors. Understanding this behavior is essential for the opti…
