Nanopores are label-free sensing platforms able to characterize
single biomolecules and probe nanoscale physics. Nanopores in
ultrathin materials have a promising application in both
desalination and osmotic power generation using salinity
gradients. Although all of these diverse applications are done in
an aqueous environment, little is known about fluid flow and its
coupling with ion transport properties. Understanding the physics
underlying ion transport through nano-sized pores allows better
design of porous membrane materials and nanopore sensors.<br>
<br>
By combining control over hydrostatic pressure and pressure
induced fluid flow with ion transport measurements, one enters the
arena of nanofluidics. I will first explain the basics principles
of nanopore sensing and the application of nanopores to osmotic
power generation, and then proceed to demonstrate how nanofluidic
measurements can provide a significant improvement to existing
experimental techniques. I will show control over nano-scale gas
bubbles at nanopores, and provide insight into how fluid flow can
influence osmotic power generators. Lastly, the role nanofludics
can have in studying the highly correlated ionic liquids in single
nanopore confinement will be discussed.<br>
