How Do Nanofluidic Systems Differ from Microfluidic Systems?
While both microfluidic and nanofluidic systems deal with the manipulation of fluids in small-scale environments, nanofluidic systems operate at a much smaller scale. This size difference results in unique properties such as enhanced surface-to-volume ratios, which significantly influence fluid behavior. At the nanoscale, factors like surface tension, electrostatic interactions, and quantum effects become dominant.
