Nanofluidic devices have a wide range of applications, including:
1. Biosensing: They can detect biological molecules like DNA, RNA, and proteins at very low concentrations, making them invaluable in medical diagnostics and environmental monitoring. 2. Drug Delivery: Precisely controlled release of drugs at the cellular or even sub-cellular level can be achieved using nanofluidic systems. 3. Chemical Analysis: High-resolution separation and analysis of chemical mixtures are possible due to the unique fluid dynamics at the nanoscale. 4. Energy Storage: Nanofluidics can improve the efficiency of batteries and fuel cells by enhancing ion transport.
