Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, substantial efforts have been made to live a healthy, pleasant, and comfortable life along with an improvement in the quality of human life. Sensors, which measure changes in the environment or changes in disease factors, are one of the essential factors in improving the quality of life and the demand for them is expected to increase the future. Current sensor studies have been conducted using functional nanomaterials (i.e., nanosensors) with unique physical, chemical, mechanical, and optical properties derived from small scales. In the field of nanotechnology, nanosensors are instrumental for monitoring physical and chemical phenomena in regions difficult to reach, detecting biochemicals in cellular organelles, and measuring nanoscopic particles in the industry and environment. In addition, the integration of nanosensors into wireless communication networks is of particular interest because of the nonobtrusive nature of the installation, high nodal densities, and low costs (without the need for extensive wiring).
This Special Issue aims to attract leading researchers in the area of nanosensors to highlight the latest exciting developments to promote concrete applications. Accepted contributions will include (1) the synthesis and fundamental properties of functional nanomaterials for components in nanosensors, (2) the alternative design of the sensor device, and (3) their applications to chem-/biological detections.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
