A nanopore is a small pore in an electrically insulating membrane, that can be used as a molecular probe. It can be a biological protein channel in a lipid bilayer or a pore in a solid-state membrane. Possible applications include rapid DNA sequencing. The size of the nanopore must be made to be just a little larger than the molecule which is to be detected, a molecule entering the nanopore will change it's electrical properties in ways which can be measured.
