Nanofluidics has emerged recently in the footsteps of microfluidics, following the quest for
scale reduction inherent to nanotechnologies. By definition, nanofluidics explores transport …

Swarm behaviors are common in nature, where individual organisms collaborate via
perception, communication, and adaptation. Emulating these dynamics, large groups of …

The use of dynamic, self-assembled DNA nanostructures in the context of nanorobotics
requires fast and reliable actuation mechanisms. We therefore created a 55-nanometer–by …

Small RNA molecules have an important role in gene regulation and RNA silencing therapy,
but it is challenging to detect these molecules without the use of time-consuming radioactive …

Solid-state nanopores are sensors capable of analysing individual unlabelled DNA
molecules in solution. Although the critical information obtained from nanopores (for …

Nanopores bear great potential as sensors for single molecules, which are detected as
resistive pulses in a simple electrical measurement. The investigation of proteins requires …

Solid-state nanopores can act as single-molecule sensors and could potentially be used to
rapidly sequence DNA molecules. However, nanopores are typically fabricated in insulating …

Solid-state nanopores bear great potential to be used to probe single proteins; however, the
passage of proteins through nanopores was found to be complex, and unexpected …

The charge of a DNA molecule is a crucial parameter in many DNA detection and
manipulation schemes such as gel electrophoresis and lab-on-a-chip applications. Here, we …

A major goal in medical research is to develop a DNA sequencing technique that is capable
of reading an entire human genome at low cost,,,. Recently, it was proposed that DNA …
