    • 2016, Fabio A. L. de Souza, Wanderla L. Scopel, Rodrigo G. Amorim, Ralph H. Scheicher, “Interface of graphene nanopore and hexagonal boron nitride as a sensing device”, in arXiv[1]:
      This circumstance could allow the hypothetical nanodevice to become highly sensitive to the electronic nature of molecules passing through the nanopore, thus opening up ways for the detection of gas molecules, amino acids, or even DNA sequences based on a measurement of the real-time conductance modulation in the graphene nanoroad..
