TL;DR: A complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor nanopore (CNP) amplifier capable of low noise recordings at an unprecedented 10 MHz bandwidth and an SNR of greater than 10 for ssDNA translocations at a measurement bandwidth of 5 MHz, which represents the fastest ion current recordings through nanopores reported to date.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates detection of translocation events as brief as 100 ns with a signal-to-noise ratio exceeding seven at a measurement bandwidth of 10 MHz, and shows that characteristic translocation rates are at least ten times faster than previously recorded.

TL;DR: An integrated fabrication process is devised to grow and define circular silicon nitride membranes on glass chips that successfully lower the chip capacitance to below 1 pF and makes use of this versatile, low-capacitance platform to suspend other thin, two-dimensional membrane such as graphene.

TL;DR: This work fabricated antidot lattices with radii down to 13 nm in few-layer black phosphorus flakes protected by an oxide layer and observed suppression of the in-plane phonon modes relative to the unmodified material via Raman spectroscopy.

TL;DR: Improvements to the SNR that can be achieved using wavelet denoising instead of Bessel filtering can be used to achieve robust statistical analyses of these recordings, which may provide important insights into nanopore translocation dynamics and mechanisms of ion channel function.
