    Abstract: Sensor apparatus (1, 9) is provided for sensing relative position of two objects (3a, 3b; 11a, 11b). First and second molecular components (2a, 2b; 10a, 10b), each comprising at least one electronic system (4, 13), are connected to respective objects (3a, 3b; 11a, 11b). The molecular components (2a, 2b; 10a, 10b) are arranged in mutual proximity such that an interaction between the electronic systems (4, 13) of respective components varies with relative position of the objects (3a, 3b; 11a, 11b). The interaction affects an electrical or optical property of the components. A detector (7) detects the property to produce an output dependent on relative position of the objects (3a, 3b; 11a, 11b).
