The asymmetric diffusion through conical nanopores is described by the diffusional model. Diffusion is several times faster; when the concentration gradient points from the wide towards the narrow ope...
We present a synthetic nanodevice, which transports potassium ions against their concentration gradient if stimulated with external field fluctuations. It consists of a single, conical pore, created i...
The transport characteristics of nanofabricated synthetic pores of similar dimensions to those of biological channels is reported. By comparison of the ion current through single synthetic and biologi...
