Voltage gating of a biomimetic nanopore: Electrowetting of a hydrophobic barrier

It is desirable that nanopores that are components of biosensors are gated, i.e. capable of controllable switching between closed (impermeable) and open (permeable) states. A central hydrophobic barrier within a nanopore may act as a voltage dependent gate via electrowetting, i...
