Abstract.

Nanopores constitute devices for the sensing of nano-objects such as ions, polymer chains, proteins or nanoparticles. We describe what information we can extract from the current trace. We consider the entrance of polydisperse chains into the nanopore, which leads to a conductance drop. We describe the detection of these current blockades according to their shape. Finally, we explain how data analysis can be used to enhance our understanding of physical processes in confined media.
