N2 - Fluid transport under nanometre-scale confinement is a topic of strong and current interest, from both the fundamental and applied points of view. There is now ample experimental evidence that the continuum model, on which macroscopic fluid mechanics is based, breaks down below a certain system size threshold, leading to unexpected fluid transport phenomena. Such phenomena may have great potential to influence a wide range of practical applicationsfrom desalination (and water treatment in general) to gas sensing and separation.
