Water shortage threatens humanity particularly in China Summary Mechanical and electrical gating for narrow nanochannels with single-filed water molecules inside ------ understanding of the mechanics of the biological channels and applications in designing controllable nanochannels Designing of the charge driven molecular water pump inspired by the charge distribution of conserved regions in biological channels called aquaporins. In AQPs, the bipolar water order stops proton permeation but not water transport. Net flux = 1.9 /ns (21% of those of the fully opened state), comparable to the mea
