Thrombin Nanochannel Logic Gate Inspired by BioMemory

The process of "reading" and "writing" in biomemory involves the transmission of electrical signals between neurons, with ligand-gated ion channels assuming a key role. The solid-state nanochannels exhibit certain similarities with neurons. Information transmission can be achieved by controlling the flow of ions within nanochannels, rendering them potentially suitable for simulating neuron behavior. Herein, thrombin (Thr) was chosen as the target protein, and a functionalized nanochannel sensing system was successfully constructed using DNA aptamers, enabling a highly sensitive Thr response with a detection limit of 0.221 fM. Simultaneously, based on
