In NIST's proposed design for a DNA sequencer, a nanoscale ribbon of molybdenum disulfide is suspended over a metal electrode and immersed in water. Single-stranded DNA, containing a chain of bases (bits of genetic code), is threaded through a hole in the ribbon, which flexes only when a DNA base pairs up with and then separates from a complementary base affixed to the hole. The membrane motion is detected as an electrical signal.

This undated handout photo provided by Porsche shows the new Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid. Major automakers are finding the Paris auto show, held in a city whose mayor wants to ban diesels to reduce pollution, as a fine place to show off new zero-emission electric cars. Most prominently, Volkswagen will unveil a new small electric car as part of the company’s pivot from diesel to more electric models as it struggles to recover from a scandal over 11 million cars that were rigged to evade diesel emissions tests. It runs Saturday, Oct. 1, 2016 through Oct. 16 at the Paris expo Porte de Versailles.
