Single-Molecule Stochastic Resonance

Stochastic resonance (SR) is a well-known phenomenon in dynamical systems. It consists of the amplification and optimization of the response of a system assisted by stochastic (random or probabilistic) noise. Here we carry out the first experimental study of SR in single DNA hairpins which exhibit c...
