DNA separation by entropic force offers better resolution

Cornell University researchers have demonstrated a novel method of separating DNA molecules by length, using a previously discovered "entropic recoil force." The technique might eventually be used to create chips or other microscopic devices to automate and speed up gene sequencing and DNA fingerprinting.
