Biological materials are self-assembled with near-atomic precision in living cells, whereas
synthetic 3D structures generally lack such precision and controllability. Recently, DNA …

Nanopore-based sensors have established themselves as a prominent tool for solution-
based, single-molecule analysis of the key building blocks of life, including nucleic acids …

Over the past decade, we have seen rapid advances in applying nanotechnology in
biomedical areas including bioimaging, biodetection, and drug delivery. As an emerging …

DNA has become one of the most extensively used molecular building blocks for
engineering self-assembling materials. DNA origami is a technique that uses hundreds of …

The predictable nature of DNA interactions enables the programmable assembly of highly
advanced 2D and 3D DNA structures of nanoscale dimensions. The access to ever larger …

Nanopores and nanochannels are ubiquitous, from biological systems to various artificial
materials. Taking advantage of size confinement and tailoring the interior components …

Fluid transport at the nanoscale is ubiquitous in nature. However, rigorous study of fluid flow
and structure in artificial nanopores only emerged relatively recently. Termed nanofluidics …

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 …

Fast, cheap, and reliable DNA sequencing could be one of the most disruptive innovations
of this decade, as it will pave the way for personalized medicine. In pursuit of such …

Osmosis is a universal phenomenon occurring in a broad variety of processes and fields. It
is the archetype of entropic forces, both trivial in its fundamental expression–the van't Hoff …
