Abstract: The control of geometric shapes is well acknowledged as one of the facile routes to regulate properties of graphene. Here, we conduct a theoretical study on the evaporation-driven self-folding of a single piece of graphene ...

Abstract: Under nanoconfinement, fluid molecules and ions exhibit radically different configurations, properties, and energetics from those of their bulk counterparts. These unique characteristics of nanoconfined fluids, along with ...

Abstract: The commentary by Professor Jan Eijkel provides a quite broad review on the topic of nanoscale fluid mechanics and energy conversion, touching comprehensively on the “rootdomainsâ€‌ of nanofluidics as well as the nanofluidic ...

Abstract: Engineering polymers generally exhibit asymmetric yield strength in tension and compression due to different arrangements of molecular structures in response to external loadings. For the polymeric materials whose plastic ...

Abstract: Magnesium (Mg) alloys have been widely used in automotive and aerospace industries due to its merits of exceptional lightweight, super strong specific strength, and high corrosion-resistance, where intermetallic compounds ...
