Why is #Graphene useful in sensors?

A graphene sensor can detect even a single molecule

 

Every atom in graphene is exposed to its environment, allowing it to sense changes in its surroundings

 

Graphene is a multifunctional material which means that one graphene sensor could measure strain, gases, pressure, magnetic field, light and temperature

 

Graphene is 1 million times thinner than a human hair. This allows for the creation of micrometre size sensors

 

How can graphene be used in sensors?

 

Graphene sensors could be used to detect biological agents like drugs in our body

 

Graphene can be used to detect light and can be used as a sensor in your camera

 

Farmers would be able to monitor the existence of any harmful gases and determine ideal areas for growth

 

Graphene can be used in sensors to monitor stresses and strains in constructional components

 

Using graphene to produce smart food packaging that detects atmospheric changes caused
