Nanosensors are chemical or mechanical sensors that can be used to detect the presence of chemical species and nanoparticles, or monitor physical parameters such as temperature, on the nanoscale.

Using optical nanosensors as research and screening tools enables us to ask unprecedented questions, discover new disease mechanisms, and accelerate biomedical discoveries. RM Williams, S Chen, RE ...

To detect the presence of these proteases in the blood, the researchers developed nanosensors containing a magnetic nanoparticle attached to a small peptide that attracts matrix metalloproteinases ...
