The present invention provides compositions and devices comprising nanostructure networks, and related methods. The compositions may exhibit enhanced interaction between nanostructures, providing improved device performance (e.g., improved conductivity). In some embodiments, the devices are capable of interacting with various species to produce an observable signal from the device. In some cases, the compositions and devices may be useful in the determination of analytes, including—biological analytes (e.g., DNA, ebola virus, other infective agents, etc.), small, organic analytes, and the like. The embodiments described herein may exhibit high sensitivity and specificity to analytes and may be capable of analyte detection at femtomolar concentrations (e.g., 10 fM). |
