Nanowire sensors enhance detection through their unique properties:
- High Sensitivity: Due to their small diameter and high aspect ratio, nanowires have a large surface area relative to their volume, leading to enhanced sensitivity for detecting small amounts of analytes. - Fast Response Time: The small size of nanowires allows for rapid diffusion of target molecules, resulting in quicker detection. - Integration with Electronics: Nanowires can be easily integrated with electronic circuits, enabling the development of compact, portable sensors.
