The many uses of nanomaterials

The radiofrequency waves that surround us may be invisible, but researchers are looking at ways to harness their energy to power flexible biosensors that stick to skin and measure molecules in our sweat. These types of devices would not be possible without nanomaterials, such as graphene and metal nanoparticles. Read the article to discover some of the many potential uses of nanomaterials, such as wearable sensors and sensors embedded in packaging to detect food contamination. Follow up by using the accompanying structure strip resource to focus learners on the core learning objectives for 14–16 in the area of nanoscience.
