VERTICAL NANOPORE COUPLED WITH A PAIR OF TRANSVERSE ELECTRODES HAVING A UNIFORM ULTRASMALL NANOGAP FOR DNA SEQUENCING

摘要

A DNA sequencing device, and related method, which include a nanopore having a maximum width dimension of no greater than about 50 nm, and a pair of electrodes having a spacing of no greater than about 2 nm, the electrodes being exposed within the nanopore to measure a DNA strand passing through the nanopore.
