DNA sequencing is in the throes of an enormous technolog-ical shift marked by dramatic
throughput increases, a precipitously drop** per-base cost of raw sequence, and an …

The ability of cells to sense the physical nature of their surroundings is critical to the survival
of multicellular organisms. Cellular response to physical cues from adjacent cells and the …

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 now well established as single-biomolecule sensors that hold
great promise as sensing elements in diagnostic and sequencing applications. However …

We present a study of double-and single-stranded DNA transport through nanopores
fabricated in ultrathin (2–7 nm thick) freestanding hafnium oxide (HfO2) membranes. The …

With the aim of develo** a DNA sequencing methodology, we theoretically examine the
feasibility of using nanoplasmonics to control the translocation of a DNA molecule through a …

Nanometer-scale pores are capable of detecting the size and concentration of nanometer-
sized analytes at low concentrations upon analyzing their translocation through the pore, in …

Here, we show a designed solid-state nanopore sensor for the direct sensing and
quantification of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) as cancer biomarker in serum without any …

Nanopores have become ubiquitous components of systems for single-molecule
manipulation and detection, in particular DNA sequencing where electric field driven …

Understanding the interactions between silicon-based materials and proteins from the
bloodstream is of key importance in a myriad of realms, such as the design of nanofluidic …
