What Are Some Key Technologies Used in Nanotechnology-Based Security Screening?
Several key technologies are utilized in nanotechnology-based security screening:
Nanosensors: Highly sensitive sensors that can detect minute quantities of chemical, biological, or radiological threats. Nanoarrays: Arrays of nanomaterial-based sensors that can simultaneously detect multiple types of threats. Quantum Dots: Semiconductor nanoparticles that can be used for high-resolution imaging and detection. Nanoimaging: Techniques like Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) provide detailed images of materials at the nanoscale, aiding in threat identification.
