    Abstract: This invention describes a method of rapidly monitoring the temperature of a medium and a method of preparing a quantum confined device that can enable such measurements. The monitoring principle uses changes in impedance of nanostructured devices, i.e. devices in which one or more materials have the domain size precision engineered to less than 500 nanometers, preferably to dimensions less than the domain sizes where quantum confinement effects become significant and modify the electrical or thermal properties of the materials. The invention can be used to monitor absolute values of and changes in temperature of gases, inorganic and organic liquids, solids, suspensions, and mixtures of one or more of the said phases. The invention can be used to monitor radiation, power, heat and mass flow, charge and momentum flow, and phase transformation.

    Abstract: Methods of monitoring environmental variables in general and chemical composition in particular, and sensors for such monitoring. These low-cost sensors comprised multiple layers in a laminated stack. Very high numbers of sensing layers (e.g., 500) may be incorporated into a single laminated sensor device. The sensors may signal changes in environmental state such as chemical composition due to changes in sensor properties such as resistivity, capacitance, inductance, permittivity, permeability, refractive index, chromaticity, transparency to light, reflection characteristics, resonance frequency, and/or magnetic characteristics.
