Graphene nanoribbons with nanopores created for fast DNA sequencing

Researchers have made an advance towards realizing a new gene sequencing technique based on threading DNA through a tiny hole in a layer of graphene. Earlier versions of the technique only made use of graphene's unbeatable thinness, but scientists now show how the material's unique electrical properties may be employed to make faster and more sensitive sequencing devices.
