Brief Description
Description : | This project will exploit the potential of nano-devices-based sensors for earth and universe sciences for life and gases detection. These sensors will serve as a proof of concept on earth and can be envisioned to be carried with the astronauts in space missions to observe the signature of life and atmosphere in space. And this is the first time to propose CNT-FET and GNR-FET based sensor for detection of life in space. The biomarker trypsin (serine protease) has never been used earlier on such sensor to observe the emergence of life on earth/ space. |
