This book contains a selection of papers presented at the 11th AISEM (Associazione Italiana Sensori e Microsistemi) National Conference on Sensors and Microsystems. The conference exhibited updated results from both the theoretical and applied research in the field of sensors and microsystems. In a interdisciplinary approach, many aspects of the disciplines related to sensors and microsystems are covered, ranging from physics, chemistry, materials science, biology and applications issues.
