  • To establish a foundation for future single-molecule genomic screening applications.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of ultrathin nanopores by placing graphene monolayers over microholes in silicon nitride membranes.
  • Drilling of nanosized holes in the graphene using an electron beam.
  • Observation of ionic current changes as individual DNA molecules translocate through the nanopore.

Main Results:

  • Successful realization and utilization of ultrathin graphene nanopores for single-molecule DNA translocation.
  • Detection of characteristic temporary conductance changes in ionic current during DNA molecule passage.
  • Proof of concept for graphene-based nanopores in DNA analysis.

Conclusions:

  • Ultrathin graphene nanopores are viable for single-molecule DNA translocation.
  • This technology offers a promising alternative to conventional solid-state nanopores for DNA sequencing.
  • The developed method sets the stage for next-generation single-molecule genomic screening devices.
