Slippery ions create a smoother path to blue energy

By engineering lubricated interfaces inside nanopores, EPFL researchers have enabled ions to flow through a nanofluidic membrane with unprecedented speed and control. In addition to enhancing nanofluidic technologies, the innovation could help accelerate the development of next-generation osmotic energy harvesting.
