1. A gas sensor comprising:

  • a resonator comprising a dielectric material, the resonator further including a layer comprising adsorptive nanostructures selected from the group consisting of degassed carbon nanotubes, activated carbon fibers, and adsorptive nanowires, wherein the dielectric material is in electrical communication with the layer comprising the adsorptive nanostructures such that the effective resonant frequency of the resonator depends upon the dielectric constant of the dielectric material and also depends upon the dielectric constant of the layer comprising the adsorptive nanostructures.
