Shrinking of Solid-state Nanopores by Direct Thermal Heating

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Solid-state nanopores have emerged as useful single-molecule sensors for DNA and proteins. A novel and simple technique for solid-state nanopore fabrication is reported here. The process involves direct thermal heating of 100 to 300 nm nanopores, made by focused...
