Abstract
Developing a scalable method for creating highly localized single nanopore and nanopore arrays in ultra-thin membranes has long been the Achilles' Heel of the vastly growing field of nanopore bio-sensing. In article number 1900147, Yuning Zhang, Yoichi Miyahara, Peter Grutter, Walter Reisner and co-workers report a new method for creating nanoscale pores and nanopore arrays in thin SiNx membranes. Tip-controlled local breakdown (TCLB) uses a conductive tip in an atomic force microscope to create pores at precise positions on a membrane by inducing highly localized dielectric breakdown. TCLB is able to fabricate sub 5 nm diameter nanopores within tens of milliseconds, with high scalability, and with nanometer positioning precision. The cover depicts the process of a single nanopore forming at the tip, with pore arrays already fabricated in the background.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
