Abstract

Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for gas sampling, for controlling and measuring a gaseous flow, and for controlling a pressure gradient. An exemplary devicefor controlling a gaseous flow comprises a gaseous flow adjusting interface, configured to inhibit or allow a flow of gas through the devicein a controlled manner, and control meansof the adjusting interface. The adjusting interfacecomprises a plurality of nano-holes. Each of the nano-holes has sub-micrometric dimensions and is suitable to be opened or closed in a controlled manner. The control means, in turn, comprise actuating means, suitable to open or close these nano-holes, and electronic processing means, configured to activate the actuation means to open or close individually or collectively the nano-holesin a controlled manner.
