Effects of Meniscus other than Simple Alignment

2 Effects of Meniscus other than Simple Alignment 

Molecular combing can be used to demonstrate a number of interesting, and potentially useful, geometries of the combed molecule. These are summarized in Fig. 16.6. 

For some applications it is necessary to produce a transparent conductor. An efficient way to create a percolating network is by using a layer of orthogonally aligned rods. Because DNA can 

Molecular combing is a flexible technique, in that many different substrates have been used, including gold, silicon, silica, -  

We expect that as technology calls for ever greater control over molecules at the nanoscale, molecular combing will find extensive application for the creation of devices. Perhaps the most prominent of these are DNA-SWCNT transistors, which have shown potential as molecular sensors however, other molecular wires, such as poly-G DNA and bacterial wires, could be combed and made into devices as well for specialized applications.
