“…More generally, solid-liquid friction can be seen as a coupling parameter between the physics of liquids -flows of water or ions driven by voltage, pressure or concentrations drops, for exampleand that of condensed matter. Solids display a wealth of excitation modes that can be tuned through careful engineering: for example, interfacial liquid flows have been shown to excite phonon modes within the solids whose properties can be tuned by proper engineering of the confining surfaces 21,22 .…”

“…Notably, such techniques would be useful to make better use of possible couplings between nanoscale flows and solid walls. Recent advances have opened the avenue to the design of channels with carefully engineered electronic properties [20][21][22] . Fine understanding of interactions between liquids and surrounding solid surfaces -beyond the description of the interface as a boundary condition for water flows and electrostatic potential -can only be achieved with specific techniques developped for problems in condensed matter.…”

Nanofluidics, the field interested in flows at the smallest scales, has grown at a fast pace, reaching an ever finer control of fluidic and ionic transport at the molecular level. Still, artificial pores are far from reaching the wealth of functionalities of biological channels that regulate sensory detection, biological transport and neurostransmission -all while operating at energies comparable to thermal noise. Here, we argue that artificial ionic machines can be designed by harnessing the entire wealth of phenomena available at the nanoscales and exploiting techniques developped in various fields of physics. As they are generally based on solid-state nanopores, rather than soft membranes and proteins, they should in particular aim at taking advantage of their specific properties such as their electronic structure or their ability to interact with light. These observations call for the design of new ways of probing nanofluidic systems. Nanofluidics is now at the crossroads, there are new avenues to build complex ionic machines and this may allow to develop new functionalities inspired by Nature.
