Nanodevices and Nanosensors

Nano sensors are nanotechnology-enabled sensors characterized by one of the following attributes either the size of the sensor or its sensitivity is in the Nano scale, or the spatial interaction distance between the sensor and the object is in Nanometres. Very large surface areas are offered by several Nano materials. Nano porous carbon can provide surface areas up to 2000 sqm/g.

Nano devices that which are critical enablers that they will allow mankind to exploit the ultimate technological capabilities of Electronic, Magnetic, Mechanical systems, and Biological systems. While the best examples of Nano devices at present are clearly associated with the Semiconductor industry, the potential for such devices is much broader.
