Abstract :
We demonstrated a field effect reconfigurable nanofluidic diode. This general concept could conceivably be applied to similar thin-body solid-state devices. FERD represents a fundamentally novel system and may function as the building block to create an on-demand, reconfigurable, large-scale integrated nanofluidic circuits for digitally-programmed manipulation of biomolecules such as polynucleotides and proteins.
