Mechanical engineers find a way to increase the sensitivity of nanopores for early disease detection

Credit: Analytical Chemistry (2024). DOI: 10.1021/acs.analchem.4c02016 SMU Lyle Mechanical Engineering graduate student Kamruzzaman Jyoti will introduce new techniques in nanotechnology to detect and analyze biomolecules, potentially paving the way for new methods for early disease detection. The research, recently featured on the cover of Analytical Chemistry, integrates octahedral DNA origami structures with solid-state nanopores to significantly improve detection of proteins,…
