Featured Highlights

We have developed a highly sensitive chemical sensor using nanocoaxial electrodes with porous annuli and capacitive detection. In Zhao et al. "Ultrasensitive chemical detection using a nanocoax sensor", we report sub-ppb (parts per billion) sensitivity to various volatile organic compounds in nitrogen.
