Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The accelerating growth of artificial intelligence is transforming the landscape of electronic devices, driving an urgent need for neuromorphic systems and intelligent sensing technologies. Thin-film transistors (TFTs) are emerging as key enablers of this new era.
This Special Issue of Materials, led by a young researcher actively contributing to the field, aims to foster dynamic scientific exchange and showcase recent advances in thin-film transistor-based neuromorphic and sensing devices. The convergence of TFT technology with neuromorphic computing and biosensing represents one of the most exciting and impactful research frontiers today.
We welcome original research and comprehensive review articles covering the following topics:
- Neuromorphic TFTs and synaptic behavior emulation;
- Material innovations (oxide, organic, hybrid semiconductors);
- Light-, voltage-, and chemistry-driven neuromorphic functions;
- Flexible, low-power, and scalable device platforms;
- Thin-film sensors for environmental or biomedical applications.
This Special Issue seeks to provide a vibrant platform for collaboration among emerging and established experts, aiming to inspire future directions and meaningful breakthroughs in next-generation electronics.

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.
