Nanosensors are small things with big potential. While, nanosensors can be used for numerous tasks, including: detecting gases, pollution monitoring, blood borne sensors (detecting medical diagnosis) , detecting bacteria and viruses, making devices thinner and less heavy, killing germs, etc., I will be focusing on the nanosensors’ current evolution, and possible future evolution in medicine.

Nanotechnology is the study of very small things. Nano sensors are extremely small devices used to sense specific data. These incredibly tiny sensors are able to detect different molecules and enzymes in the body, and within the substance placed on them. For example, some nanosensors are able to diagnose a patient’s condition by a small blood sample. Although the technology is not perfect, these devices will help us save billions of lives in the future. Nanosensors will advance the medical field sufficiently because they will make medical diagnosis faster and easier.
