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.

At left is a single nanopore viewed from the side; at right is a diagram of metabolite exchange across the membrane.

To get solid - state nanopores and membranes in these tiny proportions, researchers, including Drndić's group, are investigating cutting - edge materials, such as graphene.

The differences in base sizes are so small, however, that the proportions of both the nanopores and membranes need to be close those of the DNA strands themselves — a major challenge.

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.

«We have shown that we can make graphene membranes and that we can pass DNA through them, a proof - of - concept for graphene nanopores,» Drndić said.

Andre Marziali, Ph.D., University of British Columbia, Vancouver $ 650,000 (3 years) «Nanopores for Trans - Membrane Bio-Molecule Detection» This group will contribute to understanding how single biological molecules interact with pores inserted into membranes, and how useful information can be derived from those interactions.

The nanopore technique begins with a voltage passed across a tiny pore in a membrane.
