Wednesday, August 20, 2014 - 09:06 in Physics & Chemistry

A simple and effective way of unravelling the often tangled mass of DNA is to 'thread' the strand into a nano-channel. A study carried out with the participation of the International School for Advanced Studies in Trieste used simulations to measure the characteristics that this channel should have in order to achieve maximum efficiency.
