‘Nanoslinky’: A novel nanofluidic technology for DNA manipulation and measurement
March 21, 2012
Remember Slinky, the coiled metal spring that walks down stairs with just a push, momentum and gravity? Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed their own version of this classic albeit 10 million times smaller as a novel technology for manipulating and measuring DNA molecules and other nanoscale (billionth of a meter) materials.
