Nanosensors are gaining increasing attention due to the need to detect and measure chemical and physical properties in difficult to reach biological and industrial systems that are in the nano-scale region. Nanosensors have superior properties over the existing techniques such as high-performance liquid chromatography or gas chromatography, because they can provide rapid, sensitive, simple and low-cost on field detection. Research and development in the nanosensor domain is driven by specific market or application requirements and societal concerns. As the sensor industry is highy fragmented, it is difficult to identify the nanosensing product that is likely to do well commercially in the immediate future. It is equally tricky to spot the sensor market segment that is likely to be most influenced by nanotechnology, as new opportunities are spawned on a daily basis. This Basic review surveys various nanosensors, which are categorized into three broad types: optical, electromagnetic and mechanical nanosensors. The sensing concepts and their corresponding advantages were discussed with the reference to their applications. Future prospects towards the development of selective, sensitive biosensing system were also discussed in this paper.Indu Singh

https://materials.journalspub.info/index.php?journal=IJNS&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=61
Nanosensors are chemical or mechanical sensors that can be utilized to distinguish the presence of synthetic species and nanoparticles, or screen physical elements, for example, temperature, on the nanoscale. They likewise discover use in therapeutic analytic applications Nanosensors are increasing expanding consideration because of the need to identify and measure synthetic and physical properties in hard to reach natural and mechanical frameworks that are in the nano-scale area. These hypothetical investigation overviews different nanosensors, which are classified into three wide sorts: optical, electromagnetic and mechanical nanosensors. The sensing ideas and their relating favorable circumstances are talked about with reference to their applications.Daya Shankar Srivastava

https://materials.journalspub.info/index.php?journal=IJNS&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=62
Textured transparent and conducting ZnO:Al films were prepared by rf-magnetron sputtering on glass substrate at a temperature 3500C under Ar and Ar+O2 gas ambient. ZnO:Al thin films shows a minimum electrical resistivity of (~8.210-4 Ω-cm), and high optical transmittance (T~86–90% average) in visible region. With increasing of oxygen concentration ZnO:Al films become more compact, stoichiometric and becomes more electrically resistive. ZnO:Al shows hexagonal wurtzite polycrystalline structure with strong (002) orientations. The grain size of ZnO:Al film is 26 nm . Granular structure is observed in 2d–view of AFM image. The RMS value (δrms) of surface roughness of Ar deposited ZnO:Al and Ar+O2 deposited ZnO:Al films are respectively 6.13nm and 13.56nm. The above surface roughness value is under the critical δrms value (38nm) of the TCO surface to achieve best photovoltaic performance in thin film solar cell. O2 plays an important role in controlling surface morphology, surface texture as well as the internal texture of the growing film. There is special correlation between materials properties (opto-electronic, electrical, structural as well as morphological) and film growth condition, finally tuning the surface texture and structural properties has been enlightened in terms of a Modified Thornton Model.Rajesh DasHimadari Sekhar Das

https://materials.journalspub.info/index.php?journal=IJNS&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=63
Neuronanorobotics, a key future medical technology that can enable the preservation of human brain information, requires appropriate nanosensors. Action potentials encode the most resource-intensive functional brain data. This paper presents a theoretical design for electrical nanosensors intended for use in neuronanorobots to provide non-destructive, in vivo, continuous, real-time, single-spike monitoring of action potentials initiated and processed within the ~86 x 109 neurons of the human brain as intermediated through the ~2.4×1014 human brain synapses. The proposed ~3375 nm3 FET-based neuroelectricnanosensors could detect action potentials with a temporal resolution of at least 0.1 ms, enough for waveform characterisation even at the highest human neuron firing rates of 800 Hz.Nuno R B MartinsWolfram ErlhagenRobert A.

https://materials.journalspub.info/index.php?journal=IJNS&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=67
In order to improve commercial gas sensors, many approaches have attempted to modify the sensing properties of metal oxide semiconductor gas sensors in order to achieve higher sensitivity and selectivity. Enhancements of the sensing properties of MOS sensor (Metal Oxide Gas Sensors) materials can be achieved by the development of sensors with nanoscale sizes and structures, such as nanoparticles, nanowires, nanorods etc.Anil Ramdas BariRamesh Harishchandra Bari
