Nanosensors are tiny devices that can detect changes in the environment at the nanoscale level. They leverage the unique properties of nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, metal nanoparticles, and quantum dots. These sensors can monitor parameters like temperature, pressure, chemical composition, and biological activity. For example, in a chemical plant, nanosensors can detect leaks of hazardous gases or monitor the concentration of reactants in real-time, enabling quick response and corrective actions.
