Nanopores are nanometer scale holes formed naturally by proteins or cells, and can be
used for a variety of applications, including sequencing DNA and detecting anthrax. They
can be integrated into artificially constructed encapsulated cells of silicon wafers while
allowing small molecules like oxygen, glucose and insulin to pass, while keeping out large
system molecules." Nanopores: Sensing and Fundamental Biological Interactions"
examines the emerging research directions surrounding nanopores such as genome …
