Scientists have shown that an applied electric field can drive the DNA molecules through a nanopore, a tiny hole in a membrane.— Health News from Medical News Today
So far, nobody has figured out how to control a DNA strand as it travels through that three nanometer hole, known as a nanopore.— Biotech Sector and Stocks Analysis from Seeking Alpha
Rather than floating around until they happened upon a nanopore, DNA strands were funneled into the openings.— Health News from Medical News Today
A constant voltage can be applied between two electrodes located at either end of the nanopore, inducing an ionic current to flow through the length of the nanopore's enclosed channel.— Earth News, Earth Science, Energy Technology, Environment News
"Thinner membranes can produce less noise as a molecule travels through the nanopore," said Bashir, who is also affiliated with the university's Beckman Institute, the Frederick Seitz Materials Research Laboratory, and the Institute for Genomic Biology.— Nano Tech Wire
