Abstract

A nucleic acid sequencer includes: an atomically thin membrane; a solid electrode spaced apart from the atomically thin membrane and arranged in a capacitive configuration with the atomically thin membrane; a spacer member; a complementary base covalently disposed on the atomically thin membrane and arranged to base pair with a nitrogenous base of the single stranded nucleic acid; a power source in electrical communication with the solid electrode and that provides electrical power to the solid electrode; and a resistor in electrical communication with the power source and that receives electric current from the power source and that also is in electrical communication with the atomically thin membrane such that an amount of the electric current changes in response to a change in the selected distance between the atomically thin membrane and the solid electrode.
