Track 14: Nanosensors Devices

Nanosensors are platforms with a characteristic dimension - nanometer in scale, and add much an equivalent way as a sensor; they detect either minute particles or miniscule quantities of something. Nanosensors are chemical or mechanical sensors which will be wont to detect the presence of chemical species and nanoparticles, or monitor physical parameters like temperature, on the nanoscale.They find use in medical diagnostic applications, food and water quality sensing, and other chemicals.
