We present a methodology for preparing silicon nitride nanopores that provides in situ control of size with sub-nanometer precision while simultaneously reducing electrical noise by up to three orders of magnitude through the cyclic application of high electric fields in an aqueous environment. Over 90% of nanopores treated with this technique display desirable noise characteristics and readily exhibit translocation of double-stranded DNA molecules. Furthermore, previously used nanopores with degraded electrical properties can be rejuvenated and used for further single-molecule experiments.
