Abstract
We aim to realize a novel nanotechnology-based biosensor specifically utilized to detect harmful bacteria in potable water. The nano-inspired device makes use of a chemically functionalized gold nanorods array (for the selective selection of specific pathogens) layered with a photo-responsive nematic liquid crystal (NLC) film for real-time and high sensitivity detection. The first experimental results are presented and discussed.
