Micro- and Nanopore Biosensors

Dear Colleagues,

Micro- and nanopore biosensing is a fascinating interdiciprinary research frontier encompassing life science, physics, chemistry, and today even informatics. It measures electrical or optical signals upon translocation or trap of analytes in a specially designed hole in either a solid-state or a bological membrane that allows identification of single molecules and particles of virtually any size from cell to nucleotide in electrolyte solution. Significant efforts have been devoted in the last decade to making use of the simple and versatile sensor mechanism for a vast range of analytical applications, such as particle analyses, cancer diagnostics, viral screening, proteomics, and genome sequencing.

This Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research and reviews on micro- and nanopore sensors including, but not limited to, the following specific topics:

• Novel biosensing methods and applications of micro- and nanopores;
• Micro- and nanopore engineering for enhanced sensor sensitivity;
• Integrated biosensor systems based on micro- and nanopores;
• Post digital processing and machine learning for micro- and nanopore sensing.

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-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.
