Hydrated ions can be separated from water by a fast-rotating graphene membrane with pore size larger than hydrated ion sizes.
Abstract Lightweight artificial muscles with large strain and stress output have great application prospects in robotics, rehabilitation, prosthetic, exoskeletons. Despite the excellent performance of carbon nanotube‐based recent years, their widespread use is hindered by high manufacturing costs associated nanotubes. In this paper, study introduces a novel approach developing based on pure conductive polymer coiled yarns. This achievement facilitated successful fabrication high‐strength...
In this study, we propose a wind-direction adaptive piezoelectric energy harvester employing small wing passive control configuration (WDEH-SW) for bidirectional wind harvesting. Our design significantly enhances harvesting capabilities, addressing the limitations of traditional harvesters by modifying aerodynamic characteristics bluff body via rotations. Additionally, introduce criterion determining impact direction changes on efficiency. Experimental comparisons with conventional...
The mutual effects of two crucial features carbon nanotubes (CNTs) (surface and confinement) on the temperature-dependent water diffusion are studied through molecular dynamics simulations. A two-stage mechanism is detected in CNTs diameter smaller than 12.2 Å, which becomes obscure as temperature increases. This peculiar phenomenon can be ascribed to cooperation small confinement periodic surface. coefficient confined exhibits a nonmonotonic dependence size an unexpected increase inside...
Sensors as the significant units of Internet Things play an important role in field information interaction. Non-contact sensors have advantages flexible manipulation and a longer lifespan but it is constrained motion detection due to their relative single function. Herein, self-powered non-contact vector sensor (NMVS) for multifunctional human-machine interface reported. Based on electrostatic induction effect, measured according output electrical signals from triboelectric nanogenerator...
Flexible self-powered tactile sensors, with applications spanning wearable electronics, human-machine interaction, prosthetics, and soft robotics, offer real-time feedback on interactions in diverse environments. Despite advances their structural development, challenges persist sensitivity robustness, particularly when additional functionalities, such as high transparency stretchability. In this study, we present a novel approach integrating bionic fingerprint ring structure PVDF-HFP/AgNWs...
Coarse-grained (CG) molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were carried out to investigate the of 2.2 nm monolayer-protected gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in solvents. The effects ligand length, terminal chemistry, solvents, and temperature examined. It was found that AuNPs with unmodified alkanethiol ligands formed stable aggregates water time scale hundreds nanoseconds (eight nanoparticles). In a particular case, aggregated into an infinite, one-dimensional chainlike assembly instead clusters...
The influences of the diameter (size) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and temperature on viscosity water confined in SWCNTs are investigated by an "Eyring-MD" (molecular dynamics) method. results suggest that relative increases with increasing temperature, whereas size-dependent trend is almost independent temperature. Based computational results, a fitting formula proposed to calculate size- temperature- dependent viscosity, which useful for computation nanoflow. To demonstrate...
Controllable directional transport of liquid droplets on a functionalized surface has been challenge in the field microfluidics because it does not require energy supply, and physical mechanism such self-driving exhibits extraordinary contribution to fundamental understanding some biological processes design microfluidic apparatus.

A corrected second-order slip boundary condition is proposed to solve the Navier-Stokes equations for fluid flows confined in parallel-plate nanochannels. Compared with classical by Beskok and Karniadakis, not only dependent on Knudsen number tangential momentum accommodation coefficient, but also relative position of surface layer. For slip-flow regime less than 0.3, Couette cell investigated using molecular-dynamics simulations verify Newtonian flow behaviors examining constitutive...
Abstract The manipulation of fast, unidirectional motion for large droplets shows important applications in the fields fog collection and biochemical reactions. However, driving (>5 μL) to move directionally quickly remains challenging due nonnegligible volume force. Herein, we fabricated a scalable, bionic peristome substrate with microcavity width 180 μm using 3D printing method, which could unidirectionally drive water droplet (~8 at speed reaching 12.5 mm/s by temperature-responsive...
Molecular dynamics method is employed to investigate the buckling deformations of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) filled with nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), and platinum (Pt) atoms under axial compression. The critical strains tubes decrease linearly before a number metal then increase when more are encapsulated. For SWCNT completely metals, its strain larger than that hollow tube. Furthermore, Ni tube fully Cu or Pt atoms.
