A FET device made with a single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) decorated with single-strand DNA (ss-DNA) has shown potential for use as a gas sensor.
Using Molecular Dynamics simulation to study the interaction between ss-DNA and SWCNTs.
Studying the way in which the ss-DNA adsorbs onto a SWCNT as a function of the length of the strand (Click on Nanotube to see animation).
