Droplet interface bilayer (DIB) is a lipid bilayer formed when two lipid monolayer-coated
aqueous droplets are brought in contact within an oil phase. DIBs, especially post …

Rapid, inexpensive, and laboratory-free diagnostic of viral pathogens is highly critical in
controlling viral pandemics. In recent years, nanopore-based sensors have been employed …

Cell membranes define the boundaries of life and primarily consist of phospholipids. Living
organisms assemble phospholipids by enzymatically coupling two hydrophobic tails to a …

Topological line defects in graphene represent an ideal way to produce highly controlled
structures with reduced dimensionality that can be used in electronic devices. In this work …

Phospholipid bilayers are a major component of the cell membrane that is in contact with
physiological electrolyte solutions including salt ions. The effect of salt on the phospholipid …

Droplet interface bilayers are a convenient model system to study the physio-chemical
properties of phospholipid bilayers, the major component of the cell membrane. The …

A freestanding lipid bilayer or black lipid membrane is a powerful tool for studying ion
channels and for biophysical studies of other membrane proteins under controlled chemical …

Water-soluble metallic nanoclusters require passivating ligands to stabilize and, in many
cases, derivatize their surfaces. Recently, we demonstrated the use of resistive-pulse …

A versatile nanopore sensing platform to detect any aptamer using nanopores by designing
DNA hairpins that are complementary to the aptamer is described. This platform can detect …

Solid‐state nanopore based biosensors are cost effective, high‐throughput engines for
single molecule detection of biomolecules with the added benefit of size modification …
