Unexpected behaviors in molecular transport through size-controlled nanochannels down to the ultra-nanoscale

Transport through nanochannels is usually dominated by electrostatic interactions and depends on the charge of diffusing molecules. Here the authors show that for channel heights between 2 and 4 nanometers, transport is insensitive to molecule charge.
