Abstract

Environment, molecular biology, medicine and other life sciences require for a new class of devices having a fast sensitive and reliable response for investigating biomolecular interactions. This need has fuelled a revolution of a new class of sensors, nanobiosensors that are the product of the integration of nanotechnology, biology, and advanced materials. The possibility to employ new materials and innovative technologies allows for the realizing of conceptually new devices, potentially competitive to the existing in classical technologies..
