Chemotactic nanosensors are a type of nanoscale device designed to detect and respond to chemical stimuli. These sensors are engineered to mimic the behavior of natural biological systems, such as bacteria, which move toward or away from certain chemicals through a process known as chemotaxis. The nanosensors can sense the presence of specific molecules and then move toward or away from them, enabling a wide range of applications in medicine, environmental monitoring, and industrial processes.
