Oan551 Sensors and Transducers: Sns College of Engineering

The document discusses nano sensors. It defines nano sensors as tiny sensors between 10 to 100 nanometers that can detect the presence of nanomaterials or molecules of similar size. The document outlines the different types of nano sensors including optical, bio, chemical, and physical nano sensors. It provides examples of each type of nano sensor and their applications. Some key applications discussed are Pepple sensors, which are pressure sensors, and twin-action nano sensors which can measure two variables simultaneously.

“A biosensor is an analytical device incorporating a biological or biologically derived sensing element either intimately
associated with or integrated within a physicochemical transducer. The usual aim is to produce a digital electronic signal
which is proportional to the concentration of a specific analyte or group of analytes”
Chemical Nanosensors

Illustration of chemiresistors with receptors, the binding of bio-molecule with net electrical
charges changes the channel conductance.
