A DNA turbine across a nanopore

Prof. Cees Dekker always brings beautiful and surprising science. This time something that lives between biology, engineering and science fiction. They’ve managed to create a turbine made out of DNA (27-24nm in size) that can use transmembrane electrochemical potentials across nanopores to drive the DNA rotation.

This research has been featured in the cover of Nature Nanotechnology.
