title: Boron nitride nanopores: highly sensitive DNA single-molecule detectors.
abstract: The first electronic measurement of DNA translocation through ultrathin BN nanopores is demonstrated. BN nanopores show much higher detection sensitivity compared with SiN nanopores. BN has a spatial resolution as graphene. The ultrathin BN nanopores provide substantial opportunities in realizing high-spatial-sensitivity nanopore electrical devices for various applications.
