Nanopore fabrication by controlled dielectric breakdown. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Nanofabrication techniques for achieving dimensional control at the nanometer scale are generally equipment-intensive and time-consuming. The use of energetic beams of electrons or ions has placed the fabrication of nanopores in thin solid-state ...

Slowing DNA Translocation in a Solid-State Nanopore [PDF]

open access: yesNano Letters, 2005
Reducing a DNA molecule's translocation speed in a solid-state nanopore is a key step toward rapid single molecule identification. Here we demonstrate that DNA translocation speeds can be reduced by an order of magnitude over previous results. By controlling the electrolyte temperature, salt concentration, viscosity, and the electrical bias voltage ...

Beyond Nanoporosity: A CO2‐Conditioned Glassy Matrix Contributes to the Brittle‐to‐Ductile Transition of Nanocellular Polyetherimide

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
The mechanical performance of nanocellular polyetherimide cannot be explained by nanoporosity alone. It is shown that CO2 saturation and desorption leave a distinct mechanical signature in the glassy matrix before foaming. This matrix contribution provides a new route to understand and optimize the brittle to ductile transition in nanocellular polymers.

Discrimination of three types of homopolymers in single-stranded DNA with solid-state nanopores through external control of the DNA motion

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
To achieve DNA sequencing with solid-state nanopores, the speed of the DNA in the nanopore must be controlled to obtain sequence-specific signals. In this study, we fabricated a nanopore-sensing system equipped with a DNA motion controller.

Solid-State Nanopore Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer

open access: yes, 2019
Analysis of field-controlled dynamics of ionized substances in a vacuum enables mass spectroscopy of particles and molecules. Analogously, here we report that nanoscale tracking of electrophoretically driven fast motions of single nanoparticles allows ...

Toward Pore‐Engineered 3D‐Printed Materials for Sorption Water Harvesting, Interfacial Evaporation, and Radiative Cooling

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Water harvesting, radiative cooling, and interfacial solar evaporation are fundamentally governed by coupled heat, mass, and light transport processes. These processes are mediated by pore architecture, including pore size, connectivity, and hierarchical organization.

Detecting DNA Depurination with Solid-State Nanopores

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Among the different types of DNA damage that occur endogenously in the cell, depurination is especially prevalent. These lesions can initiate mutagenesis and have been implicated in a variety of diseases, including cancer. Here, we demonstrate a new approach for the detection of depurination at the single-molecule scale using solid-state nanopores.

Iterative Selection of DNA Nanostructures for Cellular Uptake

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
DNA nanostructures are promising cell targeting delivery vehicles for therapeutics, but the targeting behavior is not fully understood. In this study, libraries of DNA nanostructures that can be amplified and sequenced are combined with cellular uptake as a selection pressure to iteratively refine DNA structures taken up in cells to better understand ...

Electrically tunable solid-state silicon nanopore ion filter

open access: yesNanoscale Research Letters, 2006
We show that a nanopore in a silicon membrane connected to a voltage source can be used as an electrically tunable ion filter. By applying a voltage between the heavily doped semiconductor and the electrolyte, it is possible to invert the ion population ...

Functional Nanopores: A Solid-state Concept for Artificial Reaction Compartments and Molecular Factories

open access: yesCHIMIA, 2016
On the road towards the long-term goal of the NCCR Molecular Systems Engineering to create artificial molecular factories, we aim at introducing a compartmentalization strategy based on solid-state silicon technology targeting zeptoliter ...
