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.
As each base of the strand passes through the pore, it blocks some ions from passing through at the same time; amplifiers attached to the
nanopore chip can register the resulting drop
in electrical current.
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.
