Tiny carbon nanotube pores make big impact

29 octubre 2014

Scientists have created a new kind of ion channel based on short carbon nanotubes, which can be inserted into synthetic bilayers and live cell membranes to form tiny pores that transport water, protons, small ions and DNA. These carbon nanotube «porins» have significant implications for future health care and bioengineering applications.
