Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Modern technological solutions, including those based on machine learning algorithms, require reliable, optimal and solid measurement results from sensors or entire measurement systems to function correctly, describing the variables used to make decisions or for control. This situation poses significant challenges in the metrology of modern measurement systems and sensors. Obtaining reliable data that enable the precise operation of modern technological solutions requires the development of new measurement systems and specific sensors. Almost always, achieving such a goal is preceded by long-term complementary research, the results of which allow for breakthrough achievements and open up further research areas.

This Special Issue will present the most important problems in metrology in modern measurement systems and sensors, in particular in the areas of ​​design, application and research. It is also likely that the issues presented in this way will open up challenges related to m​odern measurement systems and sensors. This Special Issue will focus on the following topics:

  • Measurements of physical and chemical quantities;
  • Measurements in biology and medicine;
  • Measurements and diagnostic systems;
  • Processing of measurement signals;
  • Analysis of measurement results and assessment of uncertainty;
  • Modeling of measurement systems.

You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Sensors.

Ultra-high-pressure and extreme-pressure metrology plays a critical role in advanced manufacturing, geoscience, high-pressure physics, and frontier materials research. As pressure ranges extend from hundreds of MPa to several GPa and beyond, pressure generation and measurement are increasingly constrained by material strength, structural deformation, the state of pressure-transmitting media, sealing reliability, sensor drift, and incomplete traceability chains, imposing higher requirements on pressure metrology. This review systematically examines measurement technologies and traceability routes for ultra-high-pressure and extreme-pressure ranges. The development of controlled-clearance piston gauges is summarized, with emphasis on uncertainty reduction, range extension, and calibration automation. Drop-weight-based primary standards for dynamic pressure are also reviewed as an established route for the traceable calibration of high-amplitude, millisecond-scale hydraulic pressure pulses. Progress in secondary ultra-high-pressure standards is reviewed, including ultra-high-pressure gauges and piezoresistive, resonant, fiber-optic, and triboelectric sensors, with focus on range extension, high-accuracy measurement, environmental adaptability, and emerging pressure-sensitive mechanisms. Measurement methods for extreme pressure, including ruby fluorescence, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, phase-transition points, and equations of state, are compared in terms of applicability and limitations. Current challenges in ultra-high-pressure and extreme-pressure metrology are further discussed, together with the prospects of quantum pressure sensing based on nitrogen-vacancy centers in nanodiamonds, providing a reference for future research and metrological infrastructure development.
