Overview:

Advances in fabrication techniques for creating nanopores, nanopipettes, and nanochannels have cast new light and opened new avenues for developing robust and sensitive analytical techniques. This symposium presents the state-of-the-art in nanoscale devices based on pores, pipettes, and channels and used for chemical sensing, separations, and lithography. Device construction and applications, as well as fundamental properties of fluid and material transport at the nanoscale are covered. Potential applications of these nanoscale systems are enormous, range from multiplexed sensing elements to single molecule lithography, and represent a frontier topic of research for both separation science and electroanalytical chemistry
