Mimicking cellular transport mechanisms to make solid-state smart nanochannels has long
been of great interest for their diverse applications, but it poses a critical synthetic challenge …

Solid-state nanopores are nm sized apertures formed in thin synthetic membranes. These
single molecule sensors have been used in a variety of biophysical and diagnostic …

Anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) has been investigated and utilized in numerous products for
almost a century. But the rapidly increasing interest in nanoscale materials and their …

Nonporous materials have nano-sized pores. High specific surface area and size and shape
selectivity (size and shape Selectivity) are the most important features of these materials that …

In the past decade, nanoscale solid materials have become very important because of their
special properties, 1, 2 and the nanomaterials field has gained increasing attention from …

Nanopore-based sensors typically work by monitoring transient pulses in conductance via
current–time traces as molecules translocate through the nanopore. The unique property of …
