TL;DR: By increasing the surface charge of MoS2 membranes by light, this work can double the osmotic power generated by a single nanopore at a neutral pH, and the combination of these effects could efficiently boost the energy generation using membranes containing arrays of nanopores of varying sizes.

TL;DR: A striking geometry-dependent ion scattering effect is observed using triangular h-BN nanopores and approximately circular molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanopores, and a modified ionic blockage model is proposed, which is highly related to the ionic profile caused by geometrical variations.

TL;DR: In this article, a novel generation of these membranes is based on atomically thin MoS$_2$ membranes to decrease the resistance to current flow to increase power output, and they are able to raise the ion selectivity of the membrane by a factor of 5 while staying at a neutral pH.

TL;DR: It is shown that detection and localization of DNA methylation can be achieved with nanopore sensors made of two-dimensional materials such as graphene and molybdenum di-sulfide, thereby paving the way towards fast and low-cost DNA sequencing techniques for personal medicine.

TL;DR: The measurement scheme described opens a route to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio not only by slowing down DNA translocation to provide sufficient time for base recognition but also by stabilizing single DNA bases and, thereby, reducing thermal noise.
