Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The electromagnetic spectrum from the radio-frequency range up to visible light offers a great range of opportunities for the realization of innovative sensor components and systems with great impact on environmental monitoring, security screening, process and quality control as well as label-free biosensing and medical imaging. Depending on the selected frequency range, either global (for example water, fat and mineral content) or specific properties (such as inter- and intramolecular chemical bonds) are detected and analysed. Sensor systems have been optimized to obtain the most comprehensive and meaningful fingerprint of a sample in a non-laboratory environment such as a production plant, a medical point-of-care or a security checkpoint—without need of elaborative and time-consuming bio-chemical analysis.
The Special Issue addresses recent advances in the development of new sensor approaches including compact NMR sensors for biochemical analysis, microwave and terahertz system for remote sensing and imaging, microwave-to-terahertz evanescent field devices for analysis of liquids and biomaterials, and Raman/IR stand-off detection and threat analysis. Authors presenting recent advances in academic research as well as innovative industrial product developments are encouraged to contribute to this issue.

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. Chemosensors 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 2700 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.
