What Are Nanomaterials, and How Do They Impact Sensors?
Nanomaterials are materials engineered at the nanoscale, typically between 1 and 100 nanometers. They exhibit unique physical and chemical properties that are not present in their bulk counterparts. In autonomous vehicles, nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes and graphene are used to develop highly sensitive and durable sensors. These sensors can detect a wide range of environmental conditions including light, temperature, and pressure, which are vital for the vehicle's navigation and obstacle detection systems.
