Nanosensors are innovative devices that exploit the unique properties exhibited by matter at the nanoscale. A growing and exciting field, nanosensors have spurred considerable research worldwide, driving the development of new device concepts and the engineering of nanostructured materials with controlled properties. Nanosensors: Physical, Chemical, and Biological, Third Edition offers a panoramic view of the field and related nanotechnologies with extraordinary clarity and depth.
Presenting an interdisciplinary approach that blends physics, chemistry, and biology, this new edition is broad in scope and organized into seven parts, beginning with the fundamentals before moving on to nanomaterials and nanofabrication technologies in the second part. The third and fourth parts provide a critical appraisal of physical nanosensors and explore the chemical and biological categories of nanosensors. The fifth part sheds light on the emerging applications of nanosensors across society, industry, and defense, and details the cutting-edge applications of state-of-the-art nanosensors in environmental science, food technology, medical diagnostics, and biotechnology. The sixth part addresses self-powering and networking issues of nanosensors. The newly added seventh part addresses intelligent nanosensors and current research trends, describing machine learning techniques and AI-enhanced nanosensors. The third edition has been updated to reflect recent advancements in nanosensors that integrate nanotechnology and artificial intelligence.
This is an ideal reference for researchers and industry professionals working at the forefront of materials science and semiconductor fabrication, as well as for graduate students in physics and engineering pursuing electrical engineering and electronics courses with a focus on nanoscience and nanotechnology.
