Translocation of DNA through a nanopore with embedded electrodes is at the centre of new rapid inexpensive sequencing methods which allow distinguishing the four nucleobases by their different electronic structure. However, the subnanometer…
Nanopores -- nanosized holes that can transport ions and molecules -- are very promising devices for genomic screening, in particular DNA sequencing. Both solid-state and biological pores suffer from the drawback, however, that the channel…
Longitudinal resolution and lateral sensitivity are decisive characteristics that determine the suitability of a nanopore sensor for sequencing a strand of DNA as well as other important polymers. Previous modeling of DNA induced ionic…

Extracting the sequence information of DNA from the blocked ionic current is the crucial step of the ionic current-based nanopore sequencing approaches. The thinnest graphene nanopore, which contained only one layer of carbon atoms,…
Recent work has shown that the resistive force arising from viscous effects within the pore region could explain [Ghosal, S. Phys. Rev. E. vol. 71, 051904 (2006) and Phys. Rev. Lett. vol. 98, 238104 (2007)] observed translocation times in…
We investigate theoretically the translocation of structured RNA/DNA molecules through narrow pores which allow single but not double strands to pass. The unzipping of basepaired regions within the molecules presents significant kinetic…
Solid-state nanopores offer a powerful platform for nanoscale analysis of individual analytes, including biomolecules and functionalized nanoparticles, by confining them within a precisely defined sensing region. However, their inherently…
We propose two-terminal devices for DNA sequencing which consist of a metallic graphene nanoribbon with zigzag edges (ZGNR) and a nanopore in its interior through which the DNA molecule is translocated. Using the nonequilibrium Green…

Solid state nanopores have emerged as powerful tools for single-molecule sensing, yet the rapid uncontrolled translocation of the molecule through the pore remains a key limitation. We have previously demonstrated that an active…
Graphene holds great potential for superconductivity due to its pure two-dimensional nature, the ability to tune its carrier density through electrostatic gating, and its unique, relativistic-like electronic properties. At present, we are…
