1. A device for sequencing a polymer, the device comprising:
a first surface, a second surface displaced from the first surface so as to form an edge, an insulting coating deposited so as to form a nanochannel in the shadow of the edge, a metal coating deposited so as to form one electrode on one surface and a second electrode on the second surface, and a junction between the nanochannel and the electrodes configured such that a molecule(s) passing through the nanochannel are forced to pass through the gap between the electrodes.
