How Do Nanomaterials Enhance Sensing Capabilities?
Nanomaterials enhance sensing capabilities primarily through their unique physical and chemical properties. For instance, carbon nanotubes and graphene exhibit excellent electrical conductivity and high surface area, which improve the sensitivity of electronic sensors. Similarly, quantum dots and metal nanoparticles exhibit unique optical properties that can be exploited in fluorescence-based and plasmonic sensors for highly sensitive detection of biological molecules.
