Biosensors based on Nanomaterials

Abstract

By manipulating matter on a nanometer-scale, or at the level of atoms, molecules, and supramolecular structures, nanotechnology is the production and application of materials, technologies, and systems. Working at these scales to produce larger things with fundamentally different molecular organisation is the heart of nanotechnology. These "nanostructures," which are the tiniest things ever created by humans and display novel physical, chemical, and biological features and phenomena, are constructed from fundamentally new building blocks. The goal of nanotechnology is to discover effective ways to make use of these features and create and use structures.
