Why Single Nanotube is Better than Multi Nanotubes Sensors, Flat Planar Sensors

Modeling Technique Explains Why a Single Nanotube Performs Better than Sensors Containing Several Nanotubes or Flat Planar Sensors

A new modeling technique explains for the first time why a single nanotube performs better than sensors containing several nanotubes or flat planar sensors and refutes a popular explanation for why smaller sensors work better than larger ones.

The technique was developed to study and design miniature biosensors, and could help industry perfect lab-on-a-chip technology for uses ranging from medical diagnostics to environmental monitoring.
