Water-Carbon Interactions: Potential Energy Calibration Using Experimental Data

Werder T., Walther J.H., Jaffe R.l., Koumoutsakos P., NASA Ames Research Center, US

Functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNT) are being studied for use as nanoscale biosensors and water or proton channels. Several molecular dynamics (MD) studies of water in carbon nanotubes have recently been performed to gain further insight [...]

On the Validity of the No-Slip Condition in Nanofluidics

Koumoutsakos P., Jaffe R.l., Werder T., Walther J.H., Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zürich, CH

In a collaboration with experimental groups at NASA and ETH Zürich we conduct computational studies towards the development of biosensors in aqueous environments. Examples include arrays of carbon nanotubes that may operate as artificial stereocillia [...]
