Abstract

Biological nanochannels that can open and close in response to ambient stimuli play key roles in the proper performance of cellular and biological processes.[1] However, such kinds of nanochannels and their embedding lipid bilayers are susceptible to deterioration in changing external environments.[2] To overcome these difficulties, much effort has been focused on developing “abiotic” analogues, solid-state synthetic nanochannels that exhibit ...
