oxidizing it and allowing hydrogen fluoride to burn inverted pyramid-shaped nanopores into the silicon. Fine-tuning the process resulted in a black silicon layer with pores as small as 590 nanometers (billionths of a meter) that let through more than 99 percent of light.

Within each of the tiny particles is an elaborate nanopore structure think of it as a series of microscopic holes within a thin membrane,

Manufacturing these structures is part of an elaborate process that involves breaking down the nanopore structures into niform-sized particlesthat are fabricated ompletely

The membranes combine a very thin layer of nanopores with a thicker layer of micropores to limit the passage of unwanted material

The study also investigates how the size of the nanopores changes the repulsive forces on bacteria."

Specifically when a current is passed through the nanopore as the DNA passes through it causes a spike in the current unique to each chemical base (A c T or G) within the DNA molecule.

The structure is called a nanopore: a tiny hole in a ceramic sheet that holds electrolyte to carry the electrical charge between nanotube electrodes at either end.

Many millions of these nanopores can be crammed into one larger battery the size of a postage stamp.

because each nanopore is shaped just like the others which allows them to pack the tiny thin batteries together efficiently.

Coauthor Eleanor Gillette's modeling shows that the unique design of the nanopore battery is responsible for its success. The space inside the holes is so small that the space they take up all added together would be no more than a grain of sand.

"We believe our approach opens new avenues for simultaneous electrical and optical nanopore DNA sequencing

Nanopore sequencing of DNA, in which DNA strands are threaded through nanoscale pores and read one letter at a time,

Under today's technology, the DNA letters are"read"by an electrical current passing through nanopores fabricated on a silicon chip.

Trying to read electrical signals from DNA passing through thousands of nanopores at once, however, can result in major bottlenecks.

"Direct and enhanced optical signals are obtained at the junction of a nanopore and its optical antenna,"says Lee."

"Simultaneously correlating this optical signal with the electrical signal from conventional nanopore sequencing provides an added dimension that would be an enormous advantage for high-throughput DNA readout."

The dimensions of the nanopores and the optical characteristics of the plasmonic antenna are tunable, with the antenna functioning as both optical signal transducer and enhancer.

so that each base-pair fluoresces at a signature intensity as it passes through the junction of the nanopore and its optical antenna."

After testing it Mick Watson a bioinformatics researcher at the Roslin Institute in Scotland says nanopore sequencing is a disruptive technology that could potentially dominate the sequencing market for years to come.

But now some big companies are betting that nanopores could be the technology to break Illumina's lucrative monopoly.
