Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue seeks to explore the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) and multifunctional metamaterials in advancing the design, functionality, and application of biosensors. By integrating AI-driven algorithms and the unique properties of metamaterials, this Special Issue aims to highlight innovative approaches for achieving unparalleled sensitivity, selectivity, and multifunctionality in biosensing technologies. We invite contributions that focus on the development, characterization, and application of AI-enhanced and metamaterial-based biosensors in healthcare, environmental monitoring, food safety, and beyond.

We welcome original research, reviews, and technical notes that cover, but are not limited to, the following areas:

  • Novel AI-driven methodologies for biosensor optimization and data analysis.
  • The design and fabrication of multifunctional metamaterials tailored for biosensing applications.
  • Synergistic approaches combining AI and metamaterials to overcome limitations in current biosensor technologies.
  • Innovative applications of AI-enhanced metamaterial biosensors in real-world scenarios.
  • Computational modeling and simulation of AI and metamaterial interfaces in biosensor systems.
  • Advances in sensor miniaturization, flexibility, and integration enabled by AI and metamaterials.
  • Challenges and future perspectives in the convergence of AI and metamaterials for biosensing.

We look forward to your submissions.

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. Biosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2200 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.
