Industry = Healthcare

Press Release Summary = Nanotechnology market is growing rapidly and carbon
nanotubes based sensors, developed by a team of US based scientists, make the latest
entrant to it.

Press Release Body = A team of scientists from Motorola Labs and Arizona State
University is said to have developed carbon nanotubes based sensors. According to
the team, the new devices successfully detected heavy metal ions’ presence in
water caused by parts per trillion levels.

Specifically, researchers said that they had developed a method to apply peptides to
single walled nanotubes of carbon in field effect transistors. This is a rather
common sensor platform for all types of applications. Heavy metal ions is checked in
water, however, the platform may be applied to various other areas for sensing toxic
chemicals propagating in the air, or can be used in medicine as biosensors.
