DESCRIPTION:With the advent of nanotechnology\, the ability to create and 
 design new materials has increased dramatically. But new challenges also a
 rise due to emergent phenomena that do not show up at the macroscale and a
 re usually neglected\, but indeed play a vital role at the nanoscale. One 
 of these phenomena is the phoretic movement\, a key mechanism which drives
  the migration of DNA\, proteins and colloids through pores or inside nano
  and micro-channels due to “thermo- dynamic forces" such as temperature 
 gradients\, chemical potential gradients or electric fields. In this talk\
 , we will focus on diffusion-phoresis (osmosis) and we will show that than
 ks to a scale separation\, we are able to model the dynamics arising at in
 terfaces\, helping us to understand the physical frame-work and the releva
 nt aspects on the phoretic movement.\n
