Abstract

In this talk, I will give a brief introduction of a newly emerging single-molecule technique, nanopore biosensing. First, I would like to start with the 20-year history of nanopore research including biological nanopores as well as solid state nanopores. Then, based on the efforts that have been made in the lab, I will discuss the merits of this high throughput methodology compared to other single molecule techniques. Last, I will focus on my recent efforts on ultrathin nanopore membranes based on 2D materials, especially molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) to elaborate promising potentials for various applications (eq, DNA nanopore sequencing).
