It is a long-standing problem, and an extremely important one. Life in all its forms depends on ion channels and, furthermore, the technological applications of artificial ion channels are already widespread and growing rapidly. They include desalination, DNA sequencing, energy harvesting, molecular sensors, fuel cells, batteries, personalised medicine, and drug design. Further applications are to be anticipated.The book will be helpful to researchers and technologists already working in the area, or planning to enter it. It gives detailed descriptions of a diversity of modern approaches, and shows how they can be particularly effective and mutually reinforcing when used together. It not only provides a snapshot of current cutting-edge scientific activity in the area, but also offers indications of how the subject is likely to evolve in the future. 606 $aResearch and information: general$2bicssc 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $a2D materials 610 $aalgebraic topology 610 $aangstrom slits 610 $aBikerman model 610 $abioelectricity 610 $aBoltzmann and Fermi distributions 610 $aclassical density functional theory 610 $acommittor probabilities 610 $acomputational electrophysiology 610 $acomputer simulations 610 $acrown ether 610 $acurrent-voltage dependence 610 $adielectric constant 610 $adouble-layer capacitance 610 $aeffects of diffusion coefficients 610 $aelectric double layer 610 $aelectrochemistry 610 $aelectrodiffusion model 610 $aelectrokinetics 610 $aentropy 610 $agating current 610 $agraphene 610 $aHelmholtz free energy 610 $aion activity 610 $aion channel 610 $aion channels 610 $aion transport 610 $aionic Coulomb blockade 610 $aionic transport 610 $alinear response 610 $amaxwell equations 610 $amodified Langevin Poisson-Boltzmann model 610 $amolecular dynamics 610 $amolecular mean-field theory 610 $aMonte Carlo 610 $an/a 610 $aNaChBac 610 $ananofluidics 610 $ananopore 610 $ananopores 610 $ananotubes 610 $aNernst-Planck 610 $anon-Hermitian Hamiltonians 610 $aorientational ordering of water dipoles 610 $apatch-clamp 610 $apermanent charge 610 $apermeability 610 $aPoisson-Bikerman 610 $aPoisson-Boltzmann 610 $aPoisson-Boltzmann model 610 $aPoisson-Fermi 610 $aPoisson-Nernst-Planck 610 $apolarization 610 $aprotein dynamics 610 $areduced models 610 $areversal potential 610 $aselectivity 610 $asemiclassical methods 610 $aspecific ion size 610 $astatistical mechanics 610 $astatistical theory 610 $asteric and correlation effects 610 $asteric effect 610 $astochastic simulations 610 $athermodynamics 615 7$aResearch and information: general 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aMcClintock$b P.
