Abstract: Reversibly programmable photonic integrated circuits (PICs) that can facilitate multifunctionality have been long sought after to deliver user-level design flexibility. Issues like complicated control, continuous power consumption, and high optical losses hinder their large-scale adaptation.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1063/1.5143661
Abstract: In this paper, we study the diffusioosmotic (DOS) transport in a nanochannel grafted with pH-responsive polyelectrolyte (PE) brushes and establish brush-functionalization-driven enhancement in induced nanofluidic electric field and electrokinetic transport. The PE brushes are modeled… read more here.
