Nanofluidic memristors have become a hotspot in neuromorphic computing research due to their potential in modeling biological synaptic functions. However, many existing nanofluidic memristors rely on electrochemical or electric field-driven mechanisms, failing to directly mimic the properties of mechanically gated ion channels (e.g.

The thermophysical properties of novel Graphene/MXene-based fluids have great potential for enhancing the efficiency of solar energy systems. However, optimizing these properties remains challenging due to the complex interactions between nanomaterial composition and system conditions. This study presents a new hybrid framework that combines response surface methodology (RSM), heuristic and metaheuristic optimization, and advanced decision-making techniques to enhance the thermal conductivity (TC) and dynamic viscosity (DV) of these fluids.

Synthetic nanopores were recently demonstrated with memristive and nonlinear voltage-current behaviors, akin to ion channels in a cell membrane. Such ionic devices are considered a promising candidate for the development of brain-inspired neuromorphic computing techniques. In this work, we show the composite behavior of nanopore-array large memristors, formed with different membrane materials, pore sizes, electrolytes, and device arrangements.

A comprehensive computational model was developed to simulate magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH), incorporating a realistic 3D human liver model with an irregular-shaped tumor. It provides an accurate and clinically relevant framework for effective treatment planning. The entire process of MFH, including nanofluid injection, diffusion, magnetic field generation, heat transfer, and subsequent tissue necrosis, is appropriately modeled and thoroughly analyzed.

Single-layer crystalline films are ideal separation membrane materials because their atomic thickness could yield the highest possible molecular flux once nanopores are generated. However, the development of single-layer membranes with well-defined pore structures remains elusive, which makes the realization of efficient molecular sieving and interpretation of molecular transport a difficult task. Herein, we report the fabrication of single-layer nanoporous hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) membranes that uniquely contain triangular nanopores with a high density (around 10 pores per cm).
