High resolution and high efficiency biomolecular sensing using solid-state and hybrid bilayer MoS2 nanopores
DownloadFall 2021
Solid-state nanopores have emerged as stable label- and amplification- free biosensors for rapid detection of charged biomolecules. Analytes are electrophoretically pulled through nanopores and are detected using the characteristic blockade current due to the translocation. However, despite their...
