Nanofluidics: A Promising Frontier in Fluid Mechanics Research

Abstract

Ruben Andra*

Nanofluidics, a subfield of fluid mechanics, has emerged as a promising frontier in the realm of micro and nanoscale fluid transport and manipulation. This burgeoning field holds immense potential for applications in various domains, including medicine, energy and environmental science. Nanofluidics deals with fluid behavior at nanometer scales, where the properties of fluids deviate significantly from macroscale behavior. In this article, we delve into the world of nanofluidics, exploring its fundamental principles, recent advancements and its transformative potential in diverse scientific and technological areas. We also highlight key challenges and future prospects in this exciting field. This article explores the exciting developments and applications of nanofluidics, shedding light on its potential to revolutionize various industries, including biotechnology, energy and materials science. By investigating the fundamental principles and recent advancements in nanofluidic systems, we aim to highlight the significant impact this field could have on enhancing our understanding of fluid behavior at the nanoscale and its practical implications.
