Future Trends in Semiconducting Gas-Selective Sensing Probes for Skin Diagnostics
This paper presents sensor nanotechnologies that can be used for the skin-based gas “smelling” of disease. Skin testing may provide rapid and reliable results, using specific “fingerprints” or unique patterns for a variety of diseases and conditions. These can include metabolic diseases, such as dia...
