Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Gas sensors are present in a wide range of applications in industries and consumer life. The sensor need is growing exponentially to facilitate connected objects used in automotive and commercial markets. Hazardous gas detection is crucial for safety and becomes useful for home and office environments for decision help through health monitoring. In recent years, smart city and smart home projects have driven the need for advanced gas sensors working at room temperature. Advancements in semiconductor technology, developments in nanomaterials, and new manufacturers are leading toward gas sensor miniaturization. Power consumption should be minimized to be implemented in embedded systems, and the number of them will increase to enhanced gas detection through wireless communication and collaboration between sensor nodes. Miniaturized and low power gas sensors are also actual needs to be embedded into various devices, such as smartphones or wearable objects in emerging applications.
This Special Issue aims to generate discussions on the latest advances in research on gas sensing technologies and more particularly the challenges and the opportunities offered by miniaturized gas sensors.

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. 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.
