| Research Abstract |
We created new fluid engineering field for 10-100 nm spaces (extended-nano space) in a transitional regime between single molecules and condensed phase. Novel methodologies were established for the first time, such as top-down/ bottom-up fabrication, aL-fL fluid control, and DIC-TLM. By using these methods, we revealed unique liquid properties and transport phenomena in extended-nano space. These results indicate that liquid molecules near interface within 50 nm, which correspond to layer of several hundred molecules, are structured and affect transport phenomena. This study will greatly contribute to fluid science in extended-nano space and other fields.
