Two-dimensional nanofluidics

Nanofluidics.

It is a pleasure to present this special issue on nanofluidics. Spurred by rapid technological advances in micromachining techniques, the research field of nanofluidics appeared about ten years ago. Nanofluidics is generally defined as the study of liquid flow in and around objects of 100 nm and less, and the applications thereof. Of course fluid research on this scale had already been studied ...

The nanofluidics and biology group

The projects in this group draw on the considerable experience at CTR in using advanced algorithms and large-scale simulation used to analyze turbulence related phenomena. This group applied these capabilities to two new areas: nanofluidics and biological flows. Nanofluidics plays an important role in biodetectors, tribology, and diffusion through porous media, and anywhere that non-continuum o...

On two-dimensional Cayley graphs

A subset W of the vertices of a graph G is a resolving set for G when for each pair of distinct vertices u,v in V (G) there exists w in W such that d(u,w)≠d(v,w). The cardinality of a minimum resolving set for G is the metric dimension of G. This concept has applications in many diverse areas including network discovery, robot navigation, image processing, combinatorial search and optimization....

Biomolecular Diffusion in Nanofluidics

Imagine a small integrated biomedical analysis laboratory, connected to your home computer, which would be capable of diagnosing illnesses, a lack of vitamins, or the over-presence of substances from samples of blood, urine or saliva. This hypothetic system would be able to give a diagnosis within minutes, finally advising the user about the optimal targeted medicines to take or the right speci...
