Nanotechnology Biosensing in Bioanalysis and Beyond

Dear Colleagues,

Nanotechnology has significantly advanced the field of biosensing, enabling the detection and analysis of biological and chemical analytes with unprecedented sensitivity, specificity, and speed. The integration of nanoscale materials—such as nanoparticles, nanotubes, nanowires, and nanopores—into biosensing platforms has opened new avenues in bioanalysis, clinical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, food safety, and beyond. This Special Issue seeks to explore recent developments in and innovative applications of nanotechnology-based biosensors, highlighting their transformative potential across diverse analytical fields.

We invite submissions addressing novel nanomaterials and fabrication strategies, improvements in sensor performance (e.g., sensitivity, selectivity, stability, reproducibility), innovative bio-recognition elements (e.g., aptamers, antibodies, enzymes), and emerging signal transduction mechanisms (electrochemical, optical, mechanical, magnetic, and others). Additionally, manuscripts exploring the translation of nanobiosensors from the laboratory to real-world applications, including point-of-care diagnostics, wearable biosensors, environmental sensing, and food quality assessment, are particularly encouraged.

By showcasing interdisciplinary research at the intersection of nanotechnology and biosensing, this Special Issue aims to provide an authoritative platform for researchers and practitioners, fostering collaborations and inspiring future innovations. Submissions should emphasize clear demonstrations of nanotechnological advantages and address current limitations, providing insights into future opportunities in biosensing technologies.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
