Field effect control of translocation dynamics in surround-gate nanopores

Controlling the speed of electrophoresis across a solid-state nanopore is crucial for single-molecule sensing and sequencing. Here, a gate-controlled nanopore is able to trap and slow-down the translocation dynamics of nanoparticles by balancing the electrophoretic and hydrodynamic drag forces.
