The abstract implies a junction-forming measurement setup capable of interrogating single molecules across different environments.; requires formation of molecule electrical junctions
Independent follow-up evidence is still limited. Validation breadth across biological contexts is still narrow. Independent reuse still looks limited, so the evidence base may be fragile. No canonical validation observations are stored yet, so context-specific performance remains under-specified.
