  • Controlling DNA translocation speed is crucial for accurate molecular identification.
  • Previous methods have limitations in achieving significantly reduced DNA translocation velocities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To significantly reduce the translocation speed of DNA molecules through solid-state nanopores.
  • To achieve speeds suitable for rapid single DNA molecule identification.
  • To investigate the factors influencing DNA translocation dynamics in nanopores.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized silicon nitride nanopores with diameters ranging from 4-8 nm.
  • Controlled electrolyte temperature, salt concentration, and viscosity.
