What is Nano-sensors ?

        Nano-sensors the sensors that can be known as mechanical sensors and chemical sensors also has the capability to detect the presence and nearby existence of nanoparticles and chemicals. However, the Nano-sensors can be also used for monitoring the physical parameters, for instance, the Nano-scale and temperature. Basically, Nano-sensor is tiny and small sized sensors that can have the size between 10 to 100 Nano-meters. Nanosensors are strongly capable to detect and measure the nano-materials [1]. The sensory points provide clear understandings about the macroscopic world. Nano-sensors are most of the time made of molecular self-assembly, top-down lithography and the bottom up assembly. The advantages and benefits supported by the Nano-sensors are the major reason for the use of Nano-sensor in the medical fields. In accordance with the research, Nano-sensors are being in use in the medical and health care centers with the purpose to support the medical diagnostic applications [2].

        The first Nano-sensor (synthetic Nano-sensor) was a great invention of the Georgia Institute of technology that was basically based on an experiment/ research. In the research main objective was to measure the vibrational frequency. To measure the vibrational frequency in the object / or a single particle a carbon nanotube was used. At the first researchers measure the vibrational frequency of the nanotube without attaching or adding any type of particles thus the actual responses were recorded. Then researchers placed the single particle with the nanotube and again measured the vibrational frequency [1]. However the well-known type of Nano-sensors in the field of science, the chemical sensors also work on the same principals as chemical Nano-sensors also use nanotubes as well as carbon nanotubes to detect the particles specification.
