Li et al. [61] reported a novel method using a sequence-specific label-free DNA sensors based on silicon nanowires (Si-NWs) by measuring the change in the conductance. Kelley s group [62] developed a gold nanowire array (Au-NW) in 15-20 nm diameter range and this array was used for electrochemical DNA detection with the help of the elect-rocatalytic reporter systems, Ru(NH3)6+ and Fe(CN). ...

Metal microtubules were prepared in a similar marmer, with lower internal diameters of 0.8 nm, and the authors could demonstrate that ion transport through such tubules can be switched from positive to negative ions with external potentials applied to the membrane. 2 Gold nanowires (of as little as 10 nm diameter) deposited in nanoporous filtration disks can also act as nanoelectrodes with sensitive cyclic voltammetric detection limits. Finally, the template membrane approach has also been extended to arrays of cadmium chalcogenide phases. Thus, 200 nm-diameter CdSe or graded CdSe/CdTe cylinders were electrodeposited in the pores of Anopore membranes. A Ni-CdSe array was found to be rectifying.i ...

Constrained geometries have been used extensively in the context of mechano-chemistry, with applications including studies of bond mpture [82-86], reactivity of disulfide bonds [87], unfolding of supramolecular polymers [88], mechanochemical synthesis of phenyl cations [89], extraction of gold nanowires [90], evaluation of restoring forces in force probes [14, 91], and calculation of free energy barriers [92-98]. Examples of selected applications are described below.
