Nanotech promises multiple gains to defense sensors: researcher

Article Abstract:

Minute-scale detection involving molecule-sized samples that can produce a readable electronic signal, termed as nanoscale-sensing technology, promises to offer the ability to make potentially life-and-death chemical detections. A device developed by David Janes, deputy director of Purdue University's Institute for Nanoelectronics and Computing (INAC) and his colleagues integrates readily with electronic circuitry thus enabling acute sensitivity coupled with portability.
