The industrial and research role of sensors and associated instrumentation technologies has never been greater. However, industry demands are increasingly stringent and sophisticated, requiring innovative development of sensor technology. Nanotechnology can drive the advances needed to achieve these market demands. Novel tools, techniques and materials mean that the next generation of sensors will be smaller, have increased sensitivity, require specific functions, and consume less power.

The conference and exhibition organised by the Micro and Nano Sensors Interest Group (MiNSIG) of the Sensors and Instrumentation KTN will be held on 4th March 2010 at National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, UK. This one-day event will showcase novel sensing technologies developed by UK companies and Universities leading to new applications in security, health and environmental monitoring. In addition to showcasing these novel innovations enabled by micro and nano technology, the event will highlight key trend, future opportunities and provide insights into how its successful deployment can add value to your business.
