  • Trapping molecular segments in nano-gaps
    Patent number: 8999665
    Abstract: A molecule trapping method includes forming a fluid bridge between a first reservoir and a second reservoir, translocating a molecule from the first reservoir to the second reservoir through the fluid bridge, detecting when a segment of the molecule is in the fluid bridge, breaking the fluid bridge and forming an a gap between the first and the second reservoirs, thereby trapping a segment of the molecule in the gap and making measurements on the segment of the molecule.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 13, 2014
    Date of Patent: April 7, 2015
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: Venkat S. K. Balagurusamy, Stanislav Polonsky
