Description:
Article Controlling liquids at small scales is of importance for applications in microfluidics. Ortiz-Young et al. show that shear forces in nanoconfined water change dramatically if the confining surface is either hydrophobic or hydrophilic, offering a new understanding of the flow of liquids on the nanoscale.
