摘要: Nanoscale structures that could mimic the selective transport and extraordinarily fast flow possible in biological cellular channels would have a wide range of potential applications. Here we show liquid through membrane composed an array aligned carbon nanotubes is four to five orders magnitude faster than be predicted from conventional fluid-flow theory. This high fluid velocity results almost frictionless interface at carbon-nanotube wall.
