On-chip plasmonic platform for rapid DNA sequencing

Applications: Data storage, Biosensing, Nanoscale Sensors

Optical and electronic reading and writing of a biomolecule in a plasmonic sensing region – hundreds of such sensors can be created on a wafer.

Features	Benefits
Coupling on-chip photonics to nanopores to create a write/erase scheme.	Precise physiochemical reactions can be initiated, triggered and sensed.
Capability for dielectrophoretic concentrating and trapping.	Significantly enhancing sensing/storage volumes to concentrations that are clinically relevant.
A completely novel data storage architecture, using polymers that are modified when exposed to photons.	Permits writing without synthesis of molecules (such as DNA) requiring separate, rate limiting, processes. Also permits reading without current challenges of external noise.
