“…Within natural biological systems, such as AQP1 aquaporin channels, nanoconfined water molecules are arranged in unique one-dimensional (1D) water wires that enable precise mobility and exhibit fast transport rates (3 × 10 9 s –1 per channel). − Water is also trapped in the nanoscale pore spaces and channels of geologic materials, such as zeolites, ,, clay minerals, , or sedimentary rocks that result in variable melting point temperatures, density, and surface tension and impact transport behavior . Within engineered systems, behavior of nanoconfined water has been explored in mesoporous silica, ,, carbon nanotubes, − graphene sheets, ,, inorganic nanotubes, − and lipids, , with all systems exhibiting behavior that diverges from the bulk. These chemical and physical changes are likely dependent on both the size of the pore space and the chemical character of the interior walls.…”
