‘Nanoglassblowing’ Seen as Boon to Study of Individual Molecules
T-junction nanofluidic device with a "nanoglassblown" funnel-shaped entrance to a nanochannel.
While the results may not rival the artistry of glassblowers in Europe and Latin America, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Cornell University have found beauty in a new fabrication technique called “nanoglassblowing” that creates nanoscale (billionth of a meter) fluidic devices used to isolate and study single molecules in solutionincluding individual DNA strands...
