Abstract :
Highlights some of the latest findings and research avenues in molecular sensors and actuators and also some of the problems encountered in developing such devices. The following topics are discussed: molecular sensors; biological molecular sensors (including immunosensors); artificial senses (including smell, taste, touch); Langmuir-Blodgett films; synthetic sensors (including gas sensors); molecular actuators (including microactuators); nanoactuators; doping of conducting polymers.<>
