Trapped molecules can enter the pore multiple times before escaping the trap by passing through the pore or by diffusing away. Statistical analysis of many individually trapped molecules yields a detailed picture of the fluctuation phenomena involved, which are successfully modeled by a one-dimensional first passage approach.en-USsolid-state nanoporespressure gradientDNA single-molecule detectionDNA trappingDNA translocation attemptsJournal Article2016-08-2310.1021/nn5025829
