Scientists in the field of molecular electronics have extensively explored how electrons travel through single molecules of DNA. They’ve shown that A and B configurations of DNA differ in ...

Perhaps most exciting, electrical conductance through a special type of enzyme may signal a significant advance for DNA sequencing. Using a DNA polymerase, nature's own high-resolution DNA reader, in ...

Scientists from the University of Pittsburgh have discovered a new specialized phase of matter. By electrifying an interface made of lanthanum aluminate and strontium titanate, the researchers ...

Schematic showing a single DNA duplex bridging two gold electrodes (yellow) patterned on a silicon nitride substrate (green). The setup allows measurement of electrical conductance as metal ions bind ...
