Picking up at the conclusion of Viovy's review of the physics of gel electrophoresis [J.-L.
Viovy, Rev. Mod. Phys. 72, 813 (2000) 10.1103/RevModPhys. 72.813], this review …

The development of solid-state nanopores,,,,,,, inspired by their biological counterparts,,,,,,,,
shows great potential for the study of single macromolecules,,,,,. Applications such as DNA …

The development of nanostructure devices has opened the door to new DNA separation
techniques and fundamental investigations. With advanced nanotechnologies, artificial gels …

We use a mesoscale simulation to measure the strength of the velocity flux needed to push a
polymer into a narrow channel. We find excellent agreement with the prediction by T …

This mini review investigates the relationship and interactions of polymers under an applied
electric field (AEF) for sensor applications. Understanding how and why polymers are …

The effect of the interaction between nanopore and chain segment on the translocation of
polymer chains through an interacting nanopore from a confined environment (cis side, high …

Experiments have suggested that the conical nanopore may be a reasonable sensor for the
biopolymer analysis as it can provide high-resolution current signal. In this paper, we use …

The conformation and its relaxation of a single polymer depend on solvent quality in a
polymer solution: a polymer collapses into a globule in a poor solvent, while the polymer …

We examine the voltage-driven polymer translocation from a spacious region into a confined
region imposed by two parallel planes, so that the entry is impeded by the entropic …
