Current-carrying nanowire having a nanopore for high-sensitivity detection and analysis of biomolecules

摘要: Disclosed are devices that feature nanopores formed in graphene sheets, such as ribbons. The sheets include an edge irregularity, a zig-zag configuration, chiral edge, or armchair-configuration which edges confer on the ability to discriminate between different subunits of macromolecule translocated through nanpore. disclosed and methods have application DNA sequencing analysis, among other applications.
