title: Improving biosensors at the nanoscale.
abstract: This, the second in the series on the impact of nanotechnology on different types of medical devices, looks again at the field of medical and biological diagnosis and detection. It examines how knowledge at the nanoscale is also helping to develop new generations of miniature devices that are capable of detecting, in vivo, minute levels of analytes or even individual pathogens.
