Differential conductance as a promising approach for rapid DNA sequencing with nanopore-embedded electrodes

We propose an approach for nanopore-based DNA sequencing using characteristic transverse differential conductance. Molecular dynamics and electron transport simulations show that thetransverse diff ...
