Interfacial effects and diffusion transport regimes in nanofluidic systems

Ziemys A., Milosevic M., Ferrari M., Kojic M., The Methodist Hospital Research Institute, US

Because the Peclet number is very small for nanofluidic systems, diffusion may be at least as important as the active mass transport. In nanoscale solid surfaces may alter fluid properties and diffusion at interface. Here, [...]

A Multi-scale, Integrative Model of Cellular Electrophysiological Response Incorporating Intra/Extra-cellular Transport & Dynamics

Feng J.J., Krishnamoorthy S., Sundaram S., CFD Research Corporation, US

Spurred by the growing confluence of nano and bio technologies, several novel micro/nano platforms (see for example, whole cell patch clamp devices [1]) are emerging for the high-throughput and/or high-fidelity study of the electrophysiological response [...]
