Nanoscale analysis with DNA-graphene origami

In a recently published study in Advanced Materials Interfaces ("Hybrid DNA Origami – Graphene Platform for Electrically-Gated Nanoscale Motion"), International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) researchers have developed a new sensor that merges DNA origami with graphene to achieve unique accuracy in detecting molecular motion. Jana Nieder’s group at INL, together with Alpuim’s group (INL) and Thorsten-Lars Schmidt (Kent State University), developed this innovative sensor that could have significant potential for applications in medicine and environmental monitoring.
