Ultimate sensitivity: Nanosenors
Everything electronic gets smaller, including sensors. Sensors are the devices that gauge your car’s tire pressure. They feel your fingers pinching an iPhone screen. They’re everywhere in modern technology, and soon they will be ultrasensitive and all but invisible – as nanosensors. There are many companies and academic laboratories working on the incorporation of nanotechnology [...]

New: Single molecule sensor array
If there is a spectrum that can be detected by sensors, from very small to very big, then the sensor array built by engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT, Cambridge, USA) can stake a claim for the very smallest – a single molecule. The array uses carbon nanotubes, which are rapidly becoming the [...]
