Transverse Detection of DNA Using a MoS2 Nanopore

Aleksandra Radenovic, Michael Graf, Martina Lihter, Sanjin Marion

Classical nanopore sensing relies on the measurement of the ion current passing through a nanopore. Whenever a molecule electrophoretically translocates through the narrow constriction, it modulates the ion current. Although this approach allows one to mea ...
