Chemistry World October 11, 2012 James Urquhart	Drawing gas sensors with a nanotube pencil US researchers have created a gas sensor that can detect ammonia as well as existing sensors. The 'pencil' comes in the form of a carbon nanotube disk which was used to draw on paper patterned with metal electrodes to create the sensor.
Technology Research News April 20, 2005	Nanotube Chemical Sensor Gains Speed Researchers have made single-walled carbon nanotube chemical sensors that transmit information by measuring the charge in the nanotubes' capacitance, or ability to store electric charge.
Chemistry World August 14, 2013 Daniel Johnson	Putting PENCIL to paper to create gas sensors Scientists have made a carbon nanotube pencil that can draw gas sensors straight on to paper. This cheap and extremely quick prototyping method could spur huge advances in gas sensors, both for public health and in something as simple as toilet ventilation.
