The nanopore sensing technique is an emerging method of detecting single molecules, and extensive research has gone into various fields, including nanopore sequencing and other applications of single-molecule studies. Recently, several researchers have explored the specific ion effects in nanopore channels, enabling a unique understanding of the Hofmeister effect at the single-molecule level. Herein, the recent advances of using nanopore sensing techniques are reviewed to study the Hofmeister effect and the physicochemical mechanism of this process is attempted. The challenges and goals are also discussed for the future in this field.

Conquering surface fouling of sensors caused by nonspecific adsorption and accumulation of foulants in a food matrix is of significance in accurate food safety analysis. Herein, an antifouling electrochemical aptasensor based on a Y-shaped peptide and nanoporous gold (NPG) for aflatoxin B1 detection in milk, tofu, and rice flour was proposed. The self-designed Y-shaped peptide involves an anchoring segment (-C), a support structure (-PPPP-), and an antifouling domain with two branches (-EK(KSRE)DER-) inspired by two bioactive peptides.

Solid-state nanopores exhibit dynamically variable sizes influenced by buffer conditions and applied electric field. While dynamical pore behavior can complicate biomolecular sensing, it also offers opportunities for controlled, modification of pore size post-fabrication. In order to optimally harness solid-state pore dynamics for controlled growth, there is a need to systematically quantify pore growth dynamics and ideally develop quantitative models to describe pore growth.

In recent years, researchers have drawn inspiration from natural ion channels to develop various artificial nanopores/nanochannels, including solid-state and biological. Through imitating the precise selectivity and single molecule sensing exhibited by natural ion channels, nanopores/nanochannels have been widely used in many fields, such as analyte detection, gene sequencing and so on. In these applications, the surface functionalization of nanopores/nanochannels directly determines the effectiveness in quantitative analysis and single molecule detection.

Nanopore technology holds great potential for single-molecule identification. However, extracting meaningful features from ionic current signals and understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the specific features remain unresolved. In this study, we uncovered a distinctive ionic current pattern in a K238Q aerolysin nanopore, characterized by transient spikes superimposed on two stable transition states.
