Article number 2000275 by Deepika Sharma, Yasin Ekinci, and co‐workers, reveals the impact of crucial geometrical and experimental parameters that affect electrostatic trapping of a single charged nanoparticle in a nanofluidic device. The work provides an efficient means to optimize nanofluidic devices for stronger particle confinement using numerical simulations.
