 KLY EPFL BIOE TALKS SERIES\n\nAbstract:\nThe DNA double-strand recognition
 \, as well as the ability to manipulate its structure open a multitude of 
 ways to make DNA useful for molecular electronics. We recently reported a 
 breakthrough in measuring charge transport in DNA (Nature Nanotechnology 2
 020) in a special configuration. This finding is of great importance by it
 self for understanding electricity in DNA in particular\, and for molecula
 r electronics in general. However\, it also paves the way for the design o
 f new ultra-sensitive detectors for DNA and RNA. Addressing these challeng
 es is at the heart of the current pandemic as well as for early detection 
 of cancer.\n\nReferences:\n[1] "Direct measurement of electrical transport

 ’s mandatory seminar attendance rule:\nIF you are not attending in-perso
 n in the room\, please make sure to\n\n	send D. Reinhard a note before noo
 n on seminar day\, informing that you plan to attend the talk online\, and
 \n	be signed in on Zoom with a recognizable user name (not a pseudonym mak
 ing it difficult or impossible to be identified).\n\nStudents attending th
 e seminar in-person should collect a confirmation signature after the talk
  - please print your own signature sheet beforehand (71 kB pdf available f
 or download here).\n
