Stray magnetic field imaging of thin exfoliated iron halides flakes

Fernando Meneses, Rongrong Qi, Alexander J. Healey +8

Magnetic van der Waals materials are often proposed for use in future spintronic devices, aiming to leverage the combination of long-range magnetic order and near-atomic thinness t…

Beyond steric selectivity of ions using angstrom-scale capillaries

Solleti Goutham, Ashok Keerthi, Abdulghani Ismail +10

Ion-selective channels play a key role in physiological processes and are used in many technologies. While biological channels can efficiently separate same-charge ions with simila…

Long-term memory and synapse-like dynamics in two-dimensional nanofluidic channels

P. Robin, T. Emmerich, A. Ismail +8

Fine-tuned ion transport across nanoscale pores is key to many biological processes such as neurotransmission. Recent advances have enabled the confinement of water and ions to two…

Strong electronic winds blowing under liquid flows on carbon surfaces

Mathieu Lizée, Alice Marcotte, Baptiste Coquinot +8

The interface between a liquid and a solid is the location of plethora of intrincate mechanisms at the nanoscale, at the root of their specific emerging properties in natural proce…

Liquid-activated quantum emission from pristine hexagonal boron nitride for nanofluidic sensing

Nathan Ronceray, Yi You, Evgenii Glushkov +12

Liquids confined down to the atomic scale can show radically new properties. However, only indirect and ensemble measurements operate in such extreme confinement, calling for novel…

Angstrofluidics: walking to the limit

Yi You, Abdulghani Ismail, Gwang-Hyeon Nam +3

Angstrom-scale fluidic channels are ubiquitous in nature, and play an important role in regulating cellular traffic, signaling, and responding to stimuli. Synthetic channels are no…

Hydrocarbon Contamination in Angstrom-scale Channels

Ravalika Sajja, Yi You, Rongrong Qi +6

Nonspecific molecular adsorption like airborne contamination occurs on most surfaces including those of 2D materials and alters their properties. While the surface contamination is…

Complete steric exclusion of ions and proton transport through confined monolayer water

K. Gopinadhan, S. Hu, A. Esfandiar +7

It has long been an aspirational goal to create artificial structures that allow fast permeation of water but reject even the smallest hydrated ions, replicating the feat achieved…

Anomalously low dielectric constant of confined water

L. Fumagalli, A. Esfandiar, R. Fabregas +10

The dielectric constant of interfacial water has been predicted to be smaller than that of bulk water (= 80) because the rotational freedom of water dipoles is expected to decrease…

Size effect in ion transport through angstrom-scale slits

A. Esfandiar, B. Radha, F. C. Wang +6

It has been an ultimate but seemingly distant goal of nanofluidics to controllably fabricate capillaries with dimensions approaching the size of small ions and water molecules. We…

Molecular transport through capillaries made with atomic-scale precision

B. Radha, A. Esfandiar, F. C. Wang +13

Nanometre-scale pores and capillaries have long been studied because of their importance in many natural phenomena and their use in numerous applications. A more recent development…

Sieving hydrogen isotopes through two dimensional crystals

M. Lozada-Hidalgo, S. Hu, O. Marshall +6

One-atom-thick crystals are impermeable to atoms and molecules, but hydrogen ions (thermal protons) penetrate through them. We show that monolayers of graphene and boron nitride ca…
