integrated nanosensors is that a variety of new nanosensors, hitherto not
practical, may be feasible. There exists a wide unexplored range of pos-
sibilities for combining digital signal processing and instrumentation
techniques.
3.8.4 Wireless Nanosensor Networks
Why are wireless nanosensor networks (WNSNs) a very exciting research area?
This is because they are the enabling technology of many applications that
will impact our society and change our daily lives, encompassing health-
care to homeland security and environmental protection. The technology
of wireless sensor networks helps to run factories, optimize widely spread
processes, monitor the weather, detect the spreading of toxic gases in c ...
