DESCRIPTION:Correct identification and precise quantification of physical 
 parameters and chemical species are becoming increasingly important. These
  tasks are accomplished by electronic devices called “sensors”. For th
 e last decades\, researchers have put great efforts towards the developmen
 t of more convenient\, inexpensive but highly accurate and sensitive senso
 rs by introducing micro/nanoscale structures and materials with versatile 
 functionalities. In this talk\, the history and recent trends of sensing t
 echnologies are first discussed\, with a special emphasis on the MEMS and 
 nanotechnologies. Then\, the R&D activities at MINT (Multifunctional and I
 ntegrated Nanosystems Technology) Lab\, KAIST on the micro/nano-sensors ar
 e introduced. In specific\, the following topics are discussed: (a) silico
 n nanowire array sensor for chemical detection\, (b) metal oxide nanowire 
 and nanotube sensors for flexible photonic detection\, (c) metal-decorated
  ZnO nanowire array for toxic gas detection\, (d) Pd nanotube sensor for f
 lexible H2 detection\, (e) nanowire array for biosensing in microfluidic p
 latform\, (f) stretchable and wearable human motion sensors based on metal
 lic nanomaterials\, and (g) Android-based real-time monitoring and alert s
 ystems.
