IMAGE: CREATING ULTRATHIN MEMBRANES FOR CBD DEVICES (CREDIT: JAMES YATES) CREDIT: JAMES YATES At the simplest of levels, nanopores are (nanometre-sized) holes in an insulating membrane. The hole allows ions to pass through the membrane when a voltage is applied, resulting in a measurable current. When a molecule passes through a nanopore it causes a...
