Abstract

Over the past few years, there has been an increasing interest in the field of nanoscale in various biomedical applications such as cancer diagnosis, drug discovery, detection of viruses and bacteria, blood glucose detection, and more. The development of nanosensors is one of the most recent time advances in nanotechnology. With the help of exclusive properties of nanomaterials, sensitive and fast nanosensors can be developed which will revolutionize the future of disease diagnosis. The aim of this review is to deal with the basic concept, classification, applications, and structure and fabrication of nanosensors w.r.t its recent advancement in detection of various biological diseases, drug discovery, pH sensing, asthma detection, etc. Various types of nanosensors including optical nanosensors, electrochemical nanosensors, electrometers, biosensors, electrochemical nanosensors, and deployable nanosensors have been described briefly.
