Nanoscale sensors can be used for a wide variety of applications, including the detection of gases, optical signals, and mechanical strain, and can meet the need to detect and quantify the presence of gaseous pollutants or other dangerous substances in the environment. Gas sensors have found various applications in our daily lives and in industry. Semiconductive oxides, including SnO2, ZnO, Fe2O3, and In2O3, are promising candidates for gas sensor applications. Carbon nanomaterials are becoming increasingly available as ?off-the-shelf? components, and this makes nanotechnology more exciting and approachable than ever before. Nano-wire based field- effect transistor biosensors have also received much attention in recent years as a way to achieve ultra-sensitive and label-free sensing of molecules of biological interest. A diverse array of semiconductor-based nanostructures have been synthesized for use as a photoelectrochemical sensor or biosensor in the detection of low concentrations of analytes. A novel acoustic sensor for structural health monitoring (SHM) that utilizes lead zirconate titanate (PZT) nano- active fiber composites (NAFCs) is described as well. Surveys novel technologies for nanoscale sensors Provides the keys to understanding the principles underlying nanoscale sensors Written by leading experts in the corresponding research areas Describes enabling technologies for critical health, environmental science, and security applications. 410 0$aLecture notes in nanoscale science and technology ;$vvolume 19. 606 $aDetectors$xDesign and construction 606 $aNanostructured materials 615 0$aDetectors$xDesign and construction. 615 0$aNanostructured materials. 676 $a681.2 702 $aLi$b Shibin$c(Nanotechnologist), 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437814103321 996 $aNanoscale Sensors$92537422 997 $aUNINA
