Understanding and exploring the transport behaviors of ions and molecules in the nano and
sub-nano confinement has great meaning in the fields of nanofluidics and basic transport …

Cracks are always associated with defects or damage. However, recently cracks have
attracted great research interest in many fields. One of the most successful applications of …

Nanofluidic structures have over the last two decades emerged as a powerful platform for
detailed analysis of DNA on the kilobase pair length scale. When DNA is confined to a …

Next generation sequencing (NGS) is revolutionizing all fields of biological research but it
fails to extract the full range of information associated with genetic material. Optical mapping …

Thermoplastics have become attractive alternatives to glass/quartz for microfluidics, but the
realization of thermoplastic nanofluidic devices has been slow in spite of the rather simple …

DNA confined to nanofluidic channels with a cross-section from tens to hundreds of nm wide
and hundreds of microns long stretches in an equilibrium process free of flow or end …

While the formation of cracks is often stochastic and considered undesirable, controlled
fracture would enable rapid and low cost manufacture of micro/nanostructures. Here, we …

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the blueprint on which life is based and transmitted, but the
way in which chromatin—a dynamic complex of nucleic acids and proteins—is packaged …

DNA–protein interactions are at the core of the cellular machinery and single molecule
methods have revolutionized the possibilities to study, and our understanding of these …

While fracture is generally considered to be undesirable in various manufacturing
processes, delicate control of fracture can be successfully implemented to generate …
