Planar Solid‐State Nanopores Toward Scalable Nanofluidic Integration Based on CMOS Technology
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.We present a scalable silicon‐based fabrication strategy for planar solid‐state nanopores to enable their integration with complex nanofluidic systems. Prototype devices demonstrate normal voltage‐current characteristics, good noise performance, and appreciable streaming currents. Our CMOS‐compatible fabrication process offers precise geometric control

Reaction of common bean genotypes to plant parasitic nematodes
Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2023 ABSTRACT Among the efficient strategies to manage plant parasitic nematodes, the use of resistant cultivars stands out for being frequently the easiest and least expensive approach that can be adopted by farmers. However, for the common bean, in Brazil, few sources of resistance have been identified so far. This study aimed to assess the reaction of 81
