Specific Objectives in Bioanalytical Nanosensors 1. Novel nanomaterials adaptable to agricultural & food systems (limited sample preparation, complex systems (dirty), more robust) 2. Novel recognition mechanisms based on the nanoscale (fundamental studies, non-biomaterials, biomimetics, carbon nanotubes, MIP, recombinant – genetically engineered) 3. Novel integration mechanisms of transducer and recognition element (SAM, Directed/guided assembly, new immobilization (chemical, biological and electrical) 5. Integration of NEMS remote receive/transmit systems (embedded on the chip, satellite interaction, GPS, remote powering biopowering) 4. Novel transduction mechanisms (mechanical, impedance, piezoelectric, optical, electrochemistry, transistor) Education about Nanotechnology as overall educational topic area for initiative
