4. Applications: promise in many fields
4.1 Existing nanofluidic applications
4.1.1 A historical example of steric exclusion chromatography
Nature provides numerous examples of nanofluidic structures, foremost among them geological flows through clay or silt, which are porous media of sizes ~ 2 nm and ~ 20 nm respectively. It was rheological studies on porous media that first interested scientists in the 19th century, and Henry Darcy's work published in 1857 under the title "Recherches expérimentales relatives au mouvement de l'eau dans les tuyaux" (Experimental...
