Sensing a picoliter for the direct measurement of liquid flow rate in nanofluidicis
Physicists developed recently a simple sensor to measure minute liquid flow rates. This sensor, based on the accumulation of liquid within a deformable membrane, has been developed for the study of flows in nanofluidics. In particular, this sensor is devoted to the characterisation of coupled transport phenomena within a single nanopore. These phenomena, that remain partially understood, are of interest for water treatment and renewable energy conversion.
