Abstract
An abstract was not provided in the original work, so a preliminary abstract has been prepared as follows. The Faraday Discussion on Artificial Water Channels brought together experts from various fields related to water transport, including biological porins, artificial water channels, carbon nanotubes and graphene-based materials, and membranes for desalination and water treatment. During the discussion, the structure and function of natural proteins for water transport were discussed, as well as the formation of supramolecular tetrameric structures and structure-activity relationships in artificial water channels. The discussion also covered the modeling and enhancement of water hydrodynamics, and the application of artificial water channels to water transport systems, including reverse osmosis membranes integrated with aquaporins. The conference also featured poster presentations and social events for networking and discussion.
