Topological Liquid Diode (2 of 4) (IMAGE)
Caption
A unique topology blocks the flow of water in one direction, but makes it run fast in the opposite direction thus creating a novel fluidic diode. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Oct. 27, 2017, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by J. Li at City University of Hong Kong in Hong Kong, China, and colleagues was titled, "Topological liquid diode."
