Nanosensors for ubiquitous network

Abstract

Nanotechnology is a generic technology with a vast array of applications. MIMOS is looking into incorporating nanotechnology or nanomaterials in particular to realize a new generation of high precision sensor systems by leveraging on the large surface area of nanomaterials. The main focus will in bio and chemical sensors with high precision and low power operation [1–5]. One of the critical issues in the sensor R&D is the selectivity of the sensors to a particular analyte. In order to achieve a high selectivity and to avoid erroneous output reading, MIMOS will be exploring methods of functionalization these sensing elements. This is a specialized new area that will have to be researched for realization of sensors.
