Scientists working to improve ion mobility had previously developed nanostructures that deposit thin layers of conducting polymers on top of support materials, which improves supercapacitor performance by making more of the polymer accessible to the ions. (sciencedaily.com)
In the original SBIR grant proposal, Kayyem and Meade had proposed two alternatives to their technology: one with the DNA embedded along with conducting polymers in a gel, and the other with the DNA linked to molecules called «molecular wires» that would in turn be attached to a gold - plated electrode.

Medical diagnoses and DNA sequencing can be made cheaper, faster and more reliable using a new miniaturized technique for gel electrophoresis based on conducting polymer materials, according to researchers at Linköping University in Sweden. (sciencedaily.com)
