    Abstract: In a method for forming nanopores, two opposing surfaces of a membrane are exposed to an electrically conducting liquid environment. A nanopore nucleation voltage pulse, having a first nucleation pulse amplitude and duration, is applied between the two membrane surfaces, through the liquid environment. After applying the nanopore nucleation voltage pulse, the electrical conductance of the membrane is measured and compared to a first prespecified electrical conductance. Then at least one additional nanopore nucleation voltage pulse is applied between the two membrane surfaces, through the liquid environment, if the measured electrical conductance is no greater than the first prespecified electrical conductance. At least one nanopore diameter tuning voltage pulse, having a tuning pulse voltage amplitude and duration, is applied between the two membrane surfaces, through the liquid environment, if the measured electrical conductance is greater than the first prespecified electrical conductance and no greater than a second prespecified electrical conductance.

    Abstract: Electrosmotic (EO) pumps which are not subject to mechanical wear and tear and with no moving parts, and having improved flow rates and electrical properties, are described. Atomic layer deposition can be used to prepare two electrical terminal passive zeta potential modulated active EO pumps and novel three electrical terminal active zeta potential modulated EO pumps. First, second, and further thin layers of materials can be introduced into the pores with conformal coating extending from side to side. In the two electrical terminal passive EO pump, the zeta potential of the micropores or nanopores can be controlled by the selection of the material coating the inside walls of the pores. In an three electrical terminal active zeta potential modulated EO pump, the zeta potential can be further controlled by use of an electric field to modulate the zeta potential via an independent third electrode, thereby achieving active control of surface zeta potential using embedded electrode structures within the micropores or nanopores. In addition, coaxial nanostructures, methods for making coaxial nanostructures, and devices incorporating the coaxial nanostructures are disclosed.
