In this paper, we describe theoretically a most remarkable situation where end-charged polyelectrolyte brushes significantly enhance the diffusioosmotic transport in nanochannels by localizing the electric double layer charge density away from the channel walls…this is Raja’s first paper, Harnoor’s 6th, and Haoyuan 8th paper from the group. A BIG congratulations to all of them !!!!!

In our 2015 Nature Communication paper, we have provided a force-based argument to explain the drop motion. A recent paper in PNAS claimed our theory to be flawed on the basis of an energy-dissipation-based argument. In this paper, which is a Letter to the Editor, we showed that the claim of this PNAS paper was

In this paper, we propose a new design where biomimetic nanoparticles (NPs) use electrostatic interactions to simultaneously promote specific adhesion and prevent non-specific adhesion to plasma membranes.
