The research group of Amit Meller from the Technion won a special grant from the European Union designed to accelerate an innovative technology for drilling nanometer nozzles in a material using a laser beam. The final device will be used for the analysis of a single molecule for the rapid diagnosis of diseases, including COVID-19

: The optoelectric effect can be used to control the passage of DNA molecules in nanoholes, and improve the accuracy in sensing and sequencing of individual DNA molecules.

The Technion researchers were able to slow down the passage of DNA in nanopores using light
