How Does Nanotechnology Enhance Biomolecule Detection?
Nanotechnology leverages the unique properties of nanomaterials to improve biomolecule detection. These materials, including nanoparticles, quantum dots, carbon nanotubes, and nanowires, possess high surface area-to-volume ratios and unique optical, electrical, and magnetic properties. These characteristics enable the development of sensors that can detect biomolecules at very low concentrations with high specificity.
