Motivation Nanotechnology The Next
Industrial Revolution
4
An engineered DNA strand
An engineered DNA strand between metal atom
contacts could function as a molecular
electronics device. Such molecules and
nanostructures are expected to revolutionize
electronics
5
The Motivation
Solid-state nanopores offer a better temporal
control of the translocation of DNA, and a more
robust template for nano-engineering than
biological ion channels. The Chemistry of
solid-state nanopores can be more easily tuned to
increase the signal resolution. These advantages
will results in real-time genome sequencing.
Solid-State Nanopores
6
The Motivation
A novel data storage system capable of 1015
bytes/cm2 is being explored.H atoms would be
designated as 0 and F atoms as 1. A tip that can
distinguish between 0 and 1 rapidly and
unambiguously is being investigated.
