At international level the mission of SENSOR: Nanotechnologies for Sensing and Advanced Applications is to design and develop materials and processes to realize devices and systems for functional applications, such as chemical sensors, gas sensors, fuel cells, thermoelectrics, optoelectronics and biosensors.
In the field of bio-chemical sensing, the core of SENSOR activity, priority sectors of commitment are: Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Nanomedicine, Food and Security.
In the field of Energy, SENSOR pursues the cutting edge scientific and technological challenges of research and industrial transfer on nanomaterial-based solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and thermoelectric devices.
Moreover, quasi 1D and 2D nanostructures, which represent the most advanced field of investigation of nanostructured materials at SENSOR, are applied as fundamental building blocks of a forefront research in optoelectronics: LEDs, single-nanowire based sensors, photodetectors and others.
