No empty FRET : The microfluidic control of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) has been demonstrated, and the FRET limit has been broken with a quantum‐dot (QD)‐based DNA nanosensor in a microfluidic flow. This nanosensor can detect long nucleic acids that have separation distances far beyond the range of FRET and whose detection is not feasible with conventional FRET‐based assays.
