Advances in biomimetic sensor technology.

Abstract

Biomimetic sensor technology, inspired by nature's ingenious designs, has garnered significant attention for its potential in revolutionizing various fields, ranging from healthcare to environmental monitoring. Recent advances in biomimetic sensor technology have made it possible to develop unique and extremely sensitive sensors that imitate the capabilities of biological systems. The enhanced detection of different analytes with high specificity and sensitivity is facilitated by these sensors, which draw inspiration from natural organisms and their sensory capacities. New developments in materials science and nanotechnology have further enabled the development of novel biomimetic sensing platforms, such as nanostructured surfaces, membranes, and nanoparticles. This chapter highlights recent advances in biomimetic sensor technology, elucidating the principles, design strategies and applications driving its rapid development. We provide an overview of the most recent advancements in biomimetic sensor technology, which are driving the field forward by exploring the diverse applications of biomimetic sensors across various fields. Challenges and future aspects in biomimetic sensor research are also addressed, such as improving sensor biocompatibility, enhancing sensor stability-reproducibility and scaling up production for commercialization.
