Abstract: A device having a nanochannel within a support material, wherein the nanochannel comprises one or more sidewall electrodes; a nanomembrane inside the nanochannel, wherein the nanomembrane encircles a nanopore, has a hydrophobic surface, and is in direct contact with at least a portion of one sidewall electrode of the nanochannel; a lipid bilayer on the hydrophobic surface, the lipid bilayer spanning the nanopore and having a protein nanopore disposed into the lipid bilayer; wherein a size of the nanopore is tuned such that the lipid bilayer spanning the nanopore only accommodates a single protein nanopore.

Abstract: Described are devices and methods for forming one or more nanomembranes including electroactive nanomembranes within a nanowell or nanotube, or combinations thereof, in a support material. Nanopores/nanochannels can be formed by the electroactive nanomembrane within corresponding nanowells. The electroactive nanomembrane is capable of controllably altering a dimensionality, a composition, and/or a variety of properties in response to electrical stimuli. Various embodiments also include devices/systems and methods for using the nanomembrane-containing devices for molecular separation, purification, and sensing.

Abstract: Described herein is a device including a nanotube disposed within a support material. The nanotube has one or more sidewall electrodes, two nanomembranes, and an enzyme. One of the nanomembrane is in direct contact with at least a portion of one sidewall electrode. The other nanomembrane form a nanochannel, nanopore, or a combination thereof, and can alter one or more of a molecular composition, a dimension, or a property thereof in response to electrical stimuli.
