A modified nanoscale transistor could dramatically speed up the detection of DNA sequences, according to US researchers.
The detector consists of a quantum dot with a piece of DNA attached. It only allows current to flow when a matching sequence of DNA binds to the attached piece and could provide a simple, faster way to detect viruses or to track gene expression.
