TL;DR: In this paper, a review of spatially confined, non-equilibrium physics in nanoporous media is presented. And a particular emphasis is put on texture formation upon crystallisation in nanopore-confined condensed matter, a topic both of high fundamental interest and of increasing nanotechnological importance.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarize the most recent experimental and theoretical findings on adsorption-induced deformation and present the state-of-the-art picture of thermodynamic and mechanical aspects of this phenomenon.

TL;DR: The capillary rise of water in three-dimensional networks of hydrophilic silica pores with 3.5 nm and 5 nm mean radii is reported on to reflect the structural-thermodynamic partitioning in strongly silica bound water layers and capillary condensed water in the pore center.

TL;DR: A theoretical pore-network model is proposed, whose structural details are adapted to the microscopic pore structure of Vycor glass and show that it displays the same large-scale roughening characteristics as observed in the experiment, indicating a new universality class of imbibition behavior, which is expected to occur in any matrix with elongated, interconnected pores of random radii.
