Osmosis in a minimal model system [PDF]
Osmosis plays a central role in the function of living and soft matter systems. While the thermodynamics of osmosis is well understood, the underlying microscopic dynamical mechanisms remain the subject of discussion. Unraveling these mechanisms is a crucial prerequisite for eventually understanding osmosis in non-equilibrium systems.

Induced-charge Electrokinetic Phenomena: Theory and Microfluidic Applications [PDF]
We give a general, physical description of ``induced-charge electro-osmosis'' (ICEO), the nonlinear electrokinetic slip at a polarizable surface, in the context of some new techniques for microfluidic pumping and mixing.

On the potential of forward osmosis to energetically outperform reverse osmosis desalination [PDF]
We provide a comparison of the theoretical and actual energy requirements of forward osmosis and reverse osmosis seawater desalination. We argue that reverse osmosis is significantly more energy efficient and that forward osmosis research efforts would ...

Covalently bonded interfaces for polymer/graphene composites [PDF]
The interface is well known for taking a critical role in the determination of the functional and mechanical properties of polymer composites. Previous interface research has focused on utilising reduced graphene oxide that is limited by a low structural

Induced-Charge Electro-Osmosis [PDF]
We describe the general phenomenon of `induced-charge electro-osmosis' (ICEO) -- the nonlinear electro-osmotic slip that occurs when an applied field acts on the ionic charge it {\sl induces} around a polarizable surface.

A Critical Review of Osmosis-Associated Imbibition in Unconventional Formations
In petroleum engineering, imbibition is one of the most important elements for the hydraulic fracturing and water flooding processes, when extraneous fluids are introduced to the reservoir.
