Ions and DNA in a carbon nanotube. Molecular model of ions (purple spheres) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA, spiral helix) flowing through a single-walled carbon nanotube. DNA is the genetic basis of most living organisms. Instruments based on this concept could have medical applications, such as more rapid DNA analysis.
