Title:
Toward Nanometer-Scale Sensing Systems: Natural and Artificial Noses as Models for Ultra-Small, Ultra-Dense Sensing Systems
Report Date:
2004-11-01
Abstract:
The development of highly sensitive, selective, reliable, and compact sensing systems to detect toxic chemical and biological agents is of great importance to national security. This paper examines the best such naturally occurring sensing system, the sense of smell or "olfaction," as well as artificial sensing systems built to emulate the nose. The goal is to combine lessons learned from natural and artificial olfaction with opportunities presented by advances in nanotechnology, in order to further the development of nose-like sensing systems integrated on the nanometer scale.
