Abstract
A nanoelectronic device is combined with a cellular membrane component to provide a sensor for biomolecules or to provide information about the structure of the membrane. The nanoelectronic device may comprise a network of randomly-oriented nanotubes, or other nanostructure, arranged on a substrate with adjacent electrodes so as to operate as a field-effect transistor sensor or as a capacitive sensor. A cellular membrane is disposed over the nanostructure element.
