Ion transport and hydrodynamic flow through nanometer-sized channels (nanopores) have
been increasingly studied owing to not only the fundamental interest in the abundance of …

Much more than ever, nucleic acids are recognized as key building blocks in many of lifeʼs
processes, and the science of studying these molecular wonders at the single-molecule …

I propose a technique for reading the base sequence of a single DNA molecule using a
graphene nanogap to read the DNA's transverse conductance. Because graphene is a …

Graphene and other two dimensional (2D) materials are currently integrated into
nanoscaled devices that may–one day–sequence genomes. The challenge to solve is …

One major challenge of nanopore-based DNA sequencing technology is to find an efficient
way to reduce DNA translocation speed so that each nucleotide can reside long enough in …

The fabrication of nanopores in atomically thin graphene has recently been achieved, and
translocation of DNA has been demonstrated. Taken together with an earlier proposal to use …

Through recent advances in nanotechnology and molecular engineering, biomimetics–the
development of synthetic systems that imitate biological structures and processes–is now …

Phosphorene received considerable attention as gas/vapor sensors owing to its gas/vapor
interaction and its chemi-resistive properties. In this report, we investigated the adsorption …

Graphene nanogaps and nanopores show potential for the purpose of electrical DNA
sequencing, in particular because single-base resolution appears to be readily achievable …

DNA sequencing using nanopores, so-named nanopore sequencing, is one of the most
promising and revolutionary DNA sequencing technologies to provide the order and the type …
