DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Cecilia Herrero\nhosted by Baptiste Coquinot (RG Lemes
 hko)\nAbstract: Nanofluidics studies the behavior of fluids confined at th
 e nanometer scale\, where interfaces dominate transport and give rise to p
 henomena absent at larger scales. Beyond its fundamental interest\, this f
 ield offers promising perspectives for applications such as water desalina
 tion and energy harvesting.In this seminar\, I will discuss how nanoscale 
 confinement modifies fluid transport through the emergence of characterist
 ic interfacial length scales\, with a particular focus on the so-called sl
 ip length\, related to liquidsolid friction. I will show how the nature of
  the solid surface (such as roughness or mechanical and electronic fluctua
 tions) can strongly affect transport properties. Finally\, I will present 
 recent insights into the impact of charge fluctuations at interfaces on li
 quidsolid friction and transport\, and how these effects can be investigat
 ed using theory and molecular dynamics simulations opening the path to exp
 eriments. These phenomena open new possibilities for coupling hydrodynamic
  and electrostatic effects\, with potential applications to the conversion
  of osmotic energy into electrical power.
