A Flexible Pressure Sensor Based on Poly(dimethylsiloxane) Nanostructures Film

This paper proposed a flexible pressure sensor based on poly(dimethylsiloxane) nanostructures film and report an efficient,simple,and low-cost fabrication strategy via soft nanoimprint lithography.The pressure sensor can convert external pressure or mechanical deformation into electrical signal to detect pressure and strain changes based on the coupling of triboelectrification and electrostatic induction.To enhance the performance of the pressure sensor,it consists of sub-500 nm resolution on the surface of elastic poly(dimethylsiloxane) sensitive layer and an indium tin oxide electrode thin film.When the pressure applied on the nanostructures layer,triboelectrostatic charges are induced.In the experiment,it measures up to sensitivity of 0.8 V/kPa at frequency of 5 Hz.This study results in potential applications such as wearable smart devices and skin-attachable diagnostics sensing systems.

The authors regret that there was an incorrect citation in the Table 1 of the article ＂Nanopore-based Fourth-generation DNA Sequencing Technology＂, which was published in the journal Genomics, Proteomics ＆ Bioinformatics, Issue 1, 2015. In the table, the image in the 4th row originally appeared in the article ＂Nanopore-based sequence-specific detection of duplex DNA for geno- mic profiling＂ published by Nano Letters in 2010. Therefore, Ref. [8], which was associated with the image in the current Table l, should be replaced by the reference： Singer A, Wanunu M, Morrison W, Kuhn H, Frank-Kamenetskii M, Meller A.

The authors regret that there were typos in the online version of Figure 4 published in Issue 1,2015.In the figure legend boxes of panels F and G,‘‘Ni’’should be corrected to‘‘N’’for the labeling of the green curves.The figure in the printed version has been corrected.The correct Figure 4 is shown below.The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Nanopore-based Fourth-generation DNA Sequencing Technology

Nanopore-based sequencers, as the fourth-generation DNA sequencing technology, have the potential to quickly and reliably sequence the entire human genome for less than $1000, and possibly for even less than $100. The single-molecule techniques used by this technology allow us to further study the interaction between DNA and protein, as well as between protein and protein.Nanopore analysis opens a new door to molecular biology investigation at the single-molecule scale.In this article, we have reviewed academic achievements in nanopore technology from the past as well as the latest advances, including both biological and solid-state nanopores, and discussed their recent and potential applications.
