DESCRIPTION:Dr. Nikita Kavokine\, Max Planck Institute for Polymer Researc
 h\, Germany and Flatiron Institute\, United States\nLiquids are usually de
 scribed within classical physics\, whereas solids require the tools of qua
 ntum mechanics. I will show that in nanoscale channels this distinction no
  longer holds. At these scales\, the liquid flows become intertwined with 
 electron dynamics in the channel walls\, resulting in a wealth of phenomen
 a beyond the reach classical fluid mechanics. I will discuss the quantum f
 riction effect\, which controls the water permeability of carbon nanotubes
 \, and the generation of electric current through hydrodynamic Coulomb dra
 g. My research explores these phenomena as new design principles for energ
 y conversion and molecular separation processes.
