Inspired by the biological processes of molecular recognition and transportation across
membranes, nanopore techniques have evolved in recent decades as ultrasensitive …

Nature achieves differentiation of specific and nonspecific binding in molecular interactions
through precise control of biomolecules in space and time. Artificial systems such as …

Proteins can be the root cause of a disease, and they can be used to cure it. The need to
identify these critical actors was recognized early (1951) by Sanger; the first biopolymer …

Nanopores are single-molecule sensors used in nucleic acid analysis, whereas their
applicability towards full protein identification has yet to be demonstrated. Here, we show …

Engineered wettability is a traditional, yet key issue in surface science and attracts
tremendous interest in solving large‐scale practical problems. Recently, different super …

Membrane nanopores are key for molecular transport in biology, portable DNA sequencing,,–
, label-free single-molecule analysis,,,,,,,,–and nanomedicine. Transport traditionally relies …

Nanopore-based sequencers, as the fourth-generation DNA sequencing technology, have
the potential to quickly and reliably sequence the entire human genome for less than 1000 …

Membrane nanopores—hollow nanoscale barrels that puncture biological or synthetic
membranes—have become powerful tools in chemical-and biosensing, and have achieved …

There are still unmet needs in finding new technologies for biomedical diagnostic and
industrial applications. A technology allowing the analysis of size and sequence of short …

Nanopore-based sensors typically work by monitoring transient pulses in conductance via
current–time traces as molecules translocate through the nanopore. The unique property of …
