Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Currently, sensors are recognized to be essential devices as interfaces of advanced information systems. Adding suitable functions to sensors is effective way to place and enhance value on information. For instance, an RFID reader which can scan every item in a shopping basket may provide a beneficial impact to customers, and continuous in-vivo biomonitoring with flexible and biocompatible sensors drastically improves the quality-of-life of patients and promotion of health by home healthcare. Fusion of new sensing methods, device technologies and advanced materials assumes important role in such “sensing” breakthroughs. This combined special issue entitled “Bio-devices and Materials” is intended to be a reflection of timely research topics, in the area of device technologies, methods and materials to open new window of sensing technologies.
