Just for context, Oxford Nanopore have struggled a fair bit with getting this device to work. They have recently released quite promising prototype devices, but the project is many years behind schedule. Albeit that isn't surprising given what a massive shift in technology it is.

Oh, sure, but no one thinks they are violating the laws of physics anymore. It's "just" engineering now to get the accuracy and sustained-read lengths high enough.

Although many years behind schedule, it's still far more advanced than any other sequencing technology on the market.
