Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the past several decades, there has been an increasing number of applications of innovative nanotechnology and optoelectronic materials in medicine, biology, agriculture, environmental sciences, public health, etc. Driven by the various health, environment, and defense challenges humanity is currently facing, a tighter convergence between biosciences and nanomaterials is expected.
Optoelectronic nanomaterials have been explored in the biomedical field due to their unique physicochemical properties. These materials have demonstrated significant relevance for diagnosis, drug delivery, and biosensing. In particular, their application in the development of fluorescent probes, imaging agents, and biosensors has revolutionized the field of biomarkers. Optoelectronic nanomaterials are proving to be a critical tool for advancing biomedical imaging and diagnosis, which contributes to the growth of medical healthcare and, eventually, the improvement of human living quality.
Advances in nanotechnology have contributed dramatically to the biological revolution that is currently being witnessed. Today, most biological science disciplines are related to nanotechnology, such as diagnostic reagents based on nanomaterials. The design and preparation of nanoparticles have allowed for highly sensitive and specific detection of biomolecules, contributing to the diagnosis of human health and disease. With their unique properties, such as high surface area to volume ratio, nanoscale size, and tunable optical, electronic, and magnetic properties, optoelectronic nanomaterials have opened up new opportunities in the development of diagnostic assays and imaging tools. The collaborative progress of biology and nanotechnology has already influenced the quality of human life and behavior in a way that had never been previously imagined.
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
