Nanopore - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Solid-state nanopores are generally made in silicon compound membranes, one of the most common being silicon nitride. Solid-state nanopores can be manufactured with several ...
Ion-beam sculpting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ion-Beam scultping is a term used to describe a two-step process to make solid-state nanopores. The term itself was coined by Golovchenko and co-workers at Harvard in the paper ...
DNA Gripped In Nanopores: Researchers Analyze Forces On DNA In Gel
Molecular biologists, including the forensic investigators on the popular TV show CSI, use gel electrophoresis to separate DNA fragments from each other in order to analyze the DNA
Amorphous silica
Most applications of nanopores are based on measuring the changes in the ionic current. Therefore, understanding the ion dynamics through nanopores is desirable.

Boston University biomedical engineers win major grant for pursuit of ...
EurekAlert
Using beams of electrons, Meller punches tiny holes in thin silicon films, then pulls strands of DNA through these "nanopores" using an electric current. Each base is identified by a florescent marker attached to it, which allows the resear...
Oxford Nanopore Announces Publication of Landmark DNA Analysis Paper
Genetic Engineering News
Oxford Nanopore Technologies (“Oxford Nanopore”) today announced the publication of new research in Nature Nanotechnology, demonstrating accurate and continuous identification of DNA bases using nanopores. The system can also directly ident...
British company could deeply cut DNA scans’ cost
Las Vegas Sun
Oxford believes its nanopore sequencing could be a contender for the $1,000 scan. However, the company has used nanopores to read only individual DNA letters so far. The company is still working to improve its system to scan entire strands ...
MIT's molecular sieve advances protein research
MIT News
The key to the molecular sieve, which is made using microfabrication technology, is the uniform size of the nanopores through which proteins are separated from biological fluids. Millions of pores can be spread across a microchip the size o...
Gas pump made of minerals has no moving parts
PhysOrg
The nanopores in clinoptilolite are packed much more densely than could be achieved through lithographic techniques, and so the mineral can enable a higher rate of gas flow. “Unlike zeolite gas pumps, most of the traditional micropumping me...
