Nanopores take on the challenge of rare-earth detection
Nature Nanotechnology, Published online: 27 March 2025; doi:10.1038/s41565-025-01891-7
Mycobacterium smegmatis porin A (MspA) modified with nitrilotriacetic acid achieves direct and simultaneous discrimination of rare-earth elements, suggesting the potential use of nanopore sensing in geological exploration.
