Not exact matches
Researchers, including Karnik's group, have developed techniques to fabricate graphene membranes and precisely riddle them with tiny holes, or nanopores, the size of which can be tailored to filter out specific molecules.
To get solid - state nanopores and membranes in these tiny proportions, researchers, including Drndić's group, are investigating cutting - edge materials, such as graphene.
In this experiment, Drndić and her colleagues worked with a different material — silicon nitride — rather than attempting to craft single - atom - thick graphene membranes for nanopores.
Wijeratne noted graphene nanoribbons are already being tested for use in DNA sequencing, in which strands of DNA are pulled through a nanopore in an electrified material.
