We are thrilled to announce that the International Conference on Nanofluidics and Nanoporous Membranes 2027 will be hosted in the vibrant city of Macao SAR from May 31– June 3, 2027. Nanofluidics — the study and application of fluid transport in and around nanoscale confinements  — and nanoporous membrane science — the design and engineering of selective, high-performance membranes with precisely controlled pore architectures — have each emerged as vibrant, interdisciplinary fields with transformative applications in water purification, energy harvesting and storage, molecular separations, drug delivery, sensing, and environmental sustainability. Despite sharing deep scientific roots and a common language of nanoscale transport, these two communities have largely evolved in parallel, with limited opportunities for sustained cross-disciplinary exchange. By bringing these communities together within a single forum, the NanoFluidics and Nanoporous Membranes Conference (NanoFluMe) aims to bridge this gap, spark new cross-disciplinary dialogue, accelerate the translation of fundamental discoveries into practical technologies, and build lasting collaborations among researchers from academia, national laboratories, and industry. This small, focused GRC-style conference provides an intimate and collegial setting where participants are encouraged to present their most cutting-edge and forward-looking work, share unpublished results, and engage in the kind of in-depth scientific exchange that larger venues rarely allow.

Representative topics covered by the conference include:

· Fundamentals of ion and molecule transport under nanoscale confinement

· Electrokinetic and electrostatic phenomena in nanopores and nanochannels

· Water structure, dynamics, and phase behavior under extreme confinement

· Solid-state nanopores and nanochannels in 1D, 2D, and 3D material architecture

· Biological ion channels and biomimetic nanoporous membranes

· Nanopore sensing, single-molecule detection, and DNA/RNA sequencing

· Nanofluidic ionic circuits and neuromorphic computing

· Fabrication, characterization, and performance benchmarking of nanoporous membranes

· MOF-, COF-, and 2D material-based membranes for selective molecular and ionic separations

· Stimuli-responsive and chemically functionalized membranes

· Membrane fouling mechanisms, antifouling strategies, and long-term stability

· Nanoporous membranes for desalination, water purification, energy harvesting, and critical mineral extraction

Stay Tuned! Detailed information regarding registration, abstract submission, and our lineup of distinguished keynote and invited speakers will be released shortly. We look forward to welcoming the global nanofluidics and nanoporous membrane communities to Macao in 2027!
