Go with the flow! Using diffusion to direct the transport of molecules

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to understand the mechanisms behind the directed bulk transport of molecules by controlled diffusion and flow linked by chemical reactions and chemical concentration gradients. The significance of this project is it will provide the first detailed experimental data to test proposed theories and produce a fundamental understanding of how molecules can undergo controlled transport in dilute solutions. Expected outcomes include a new understanding of how molecules can be guided toward their desired targets, which could have applications in waste collection or sensing by concentrating analytes, and for understanding biological processes.
