How Does Nanotechnology Enhance Biological Sensors?
Nanotechnology significantly enhances the performance of biological sensors by improving their sensitivity, selectivity, and response time. The incorporation of nanomaterials such as nanoparticles, nanowires, and nanotubes can increase the surface area for interaction and facilitate better signal transduction. For instance, gold nanoparticles are often used to amplify signals due to their excellent conductive properties.
