The topic of transducers and the related study of the mechanisms at the basis of the operation of sensors is typically interdisciplinary since it involves the conversion of physical, chemical, biological, nuclear or medical stimuli into an electrical signal (current of voltage) which is easy to monitor, record and correlate thanks to the available tools of processing and control, e.g. internet-of-things (IoT) or artificial intelligence (AI). In this context nanotechnologies can contribute at a large extent with the preparation and the development of smart materials (organic, inorganic and hybrids) through the fine control of chemical composition, structure, configuration and interfaces in order to generate an electrical potential difference and/or an electrical current relatable to the amount and nature of the analytes. Terms like selectivity, specificity and rapidity of response are paradigmatic in the search of advanced sensors based on smart materials with the nanotechnologies contributing in abating limits of detection and improving selectivity of analysis when the analytes are represented by in vivo systems, or constituted by rapidly evolving chemical species, complex multicomponent mixtures, or dangerous products among others. This session aims to gather all young experts that are involved in the development of sensors/transducers with high sensitivity and selectivity taking advantage of the progresses in nanotechnologies and in the control of the matter at the nanometer level.
