Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Environmental monitoring is critical for addressing global challenges such as climate change, soil degradation, water pollution, and air quality deterioration. Recent advancements in micro/nano sensors, MEMS/NEMS, biosensors, and optical and electrochemical sensors have revolutionized how we detect, analyze, and manage environmental parameters with unprecedented precision and efficiency.
We are delighted to extend our most enthusiastic invitation for your participation in this Special Issue titled "Micro/Nano-Enabled Sensors and Systems for Environmental Monitoring: Innovation and Applications." This Special Issue aims to establish a high-level interdisciplinary academic platform, systematically exploring the latest breakthroughs, core challenges, and future development trends in micro/nano-scale sensing technologies for environmental monitoring. It will serve as a profound exchange platform for both academia and practitioners.
We welcome original research articles, review papers, and communication, with topics including but not limited to biosensors, MEMS sensors, and nanomaterial-based sensors. Your contributions will bring fresh perspectives to the field and allow you to share insights with peers worldwide.
Prof. Dr. Lijuan Liang
Guest Editor
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. Micromachines 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 2100 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.
