Nano Radiation Sensors: Introduction
- A nano sensor is a device that collects data about characteristics and behavior of nano particles at the nano scale level
- Nano sensors are made of active elements including nano materials. These sensors offer several advantages in terms of specificity and sensitivity over sensors made of the conventional materials.
- Nano sensors are capable to measure air and water quality index, on the basis of their speed, size, and accuracy of measurement
- Nano radiation sensors are of two types: scintillation detectors and solid-state detectors
- Nano radiation sensors are employed in various end-use sectors such as automotive, consumer electronics, energy & utilities, defense & security, and industrial
