A nanometer is a billionth of a meter.

Nanotechnology is not a new science.

HISTORY OF NANOTECHNOLOGY

A roman cup of prehistoric times using nanoparticles to gives different colors at different times of the day.

INTRODUCTION:

Number of Nano Technology sensors published per year until 2011

Nanosensors are sensing devices with atleast one of their sensing dimensions being not greater than 100nm.

3 broad categories:

1. Optical nanosensors.2. Electromagnetic nanosensors.3. Mechanical/vibrational nanosensors.
