Molecular origin of slippery behaviour in tethered liquid layers
Fabio Rasera, Isaac J. Gresham, Antonio Tinti +2
Slippery covalently attached liquid surfaces (SCALS) are a family of nanothin polymer layers with remarkably low static droplet friction, characterised by a low contact angle hyste…
Chemical Physics of Controlled Wettability and Super Surfaces
Carolina Brito, Hans-Jürgen Butt, Alberto Giacomello
Wetting phenomena are widespread in both natural and technological contexts. Despite the well-established nature of this scientific field and our extensive knowledge of its underly…
Voltage controlled iontronic switches: a computational method to predict electrowetting in hydrophobically gated nanopores
Gonçalo Paulo, Alberto Gubbiotti, Giovanni Di Muccio +1
Reliable and controllable switches are crucial in nanofluidics and iontronics. Ion channels in nature serve as a rich source of inspiration due to their intricate mechanisms modula…
What keeps nanopores boiling
Alberto Giacomello
The liquid to vapour transition can occur at unexpected conditions in nanopores, opening the door to fundamental questions and new technologies. The physics of boiling in confineme…
Structural transformations in Cu, Ag, and Au metal nanoclusters
Manoj Settem, Cesare Roncaglia, Riccardo Ferrando +1
Finite-temperature structures of Cu, Ag, and Au metal nanoclusters are calculated in the entire temperature range from 0 K to melting using a computational methodology that we prop…
An atomistically informed multiscale approach to the intrusion and extrusion of water in hydrophobic nanopores
Gonçalo Paulo, Alberto Gubbiotti, Alberto Giacomello
Understanding intrusion and extrusion in nanoporous materials is a challenging multiscale problem of utmost importance for applications ranging from energy storage and dissipation…
