They offer effective and affordable options for detecting and measuring chemical and physical properties in difficult-to-reach biological and industrial systems operating at the nanoscale. However, with nanosensor development occurring in so many fields, it has become difficult to stay current with the latest research and emerging applications. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNANOSENSORS: Theory and Applications in Industry, Healthcare and Defense\u003c\/strong\u003e answers the need for a comprehensive resource on advances in this area. Dr. Teik-Cheng Lim, a highly regarded expert in novel materials and nanosensors crosses disciplines to bring together 17 pioneering experts who address the fundamental principles of nanosensors and their diverse applications.
