In this work, a method of fabricating a NO nano-sensor working at room temperature with a low detectable concentration limit is proposed. A 2D-MoS flake is isolated by transferring a single MoS flake to SiO/Si substrate, followed by applying an advanced e-beam lithography (EBL) to form a metal contact with Au/Cr electrodes. The resulting chemoresistive nano-sensor using a single MoS flake was applied to detect a very low concentration of NO at the part-per-billion (ppb) level.

We developed a novel sensor structure by synthesizing Pd nanocubes (NCs) decorated on ZnO nanostructures (NSs) applied to resistive-type H₂ gas sensor with micro-length in sensing channel. The ZnO NSs were selectively grown between micro-size finger-like interdigital electrodes through microelectromechanical technology. The novel H₂ sensor structure with the sensing channel was reduced to micro-size by this proposed method to obtain a sensor with fast response/recovery time.

A simple method was introduced to prepare magnetic chitosan nanoparticles by co-precipitation via epichlorohydrin cross-linking reaction. The average size of magnetic chitosan nanoparticles is estimated at ca. 30 nm.

DNA hybridization is studied by quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). An increase in DNA complementary target concentration results in a decrease in the faradic charge transfer resistance (R(ct)) and signifying "signal-on" behavior of MWCNTs-PPy-DNA system.
