Influence of osmotic energy recovery/osmotic dilution on seawater desalination energy demand
, 2013 Supplying fresh, potable water to an ever increasing world population is becoming a major challenge. One possibility is to produce fresh water from seawater by Reverse Osmosis (RO), a process that is very energy intensive. To reduce the energy demand of this process, osmotic dilution (OD)/osmotic energy recovery (OER) systems can be used as pre ...

Unified Framework for Osmotic Energy Conversion
Abstract Osmotic energy systems employ charged nanoporous membranes and nanochannels to convert salinity gradients into electrical power, offering a promising route to harvest one of Earth’s most abundant yet underexploited renewable resources—the oceans—and providing reliable, carbon-free electricity.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.We present elastomeric three‐dimensional (3D) microstructures fabricated via two‐photon polymerization (2PP) and post‐processed through wet etching, for quantifying nanonewton (nN)‐scale forces applied by healthy and diseased neural cells. The mechanically characterized free‐standing beam architectures enable measurement of traction forces of ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Cancer‐associated NPC remodeling creates a high‐flux, low‐stringency nuclear state that supports malignant adaptation but increases mechanical fragility. Targeting the FG‐barrier or NPC scaffold may drive mechanostat failure, envelope rupture, DNA damage, and loss of nuclear integrity.

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Reversible light‐induced gradients at solid–liquid interfaces enable controllable interfacial transport via light‐driven diffusioosmosis. We demonstrate directed particle manipulation based on dynamically generated concentration gradients. The mechanism is broadly applicable to cationic, anionic, and non‐ionic surfactants with varying hydrophobicity ...
