The hole allows ions to pass through the membrane when a voltage is applied, resulting in a measurable current. When a molecule passes through a nanopore it causes a change in the current, this can be used to characterize and even identify individual molecules. Nanopores are extremely powerful single-molecule biosensing devices and can be used to\u00a0detect and sequence DNA, RNA, and even proteins.\u00a0Recently, it has been used in the SARS-CoV-2 virus sequencing.\u00a0\u00a0&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2021-08-nanopore-technology.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Developing better nanopore technology<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the simplest of levels, nanopores are (nanometre-sized) holes in an insulating membrane.
