Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gas sensors play a critical role in environmental monitoring, industrial safety, and medical diagnostics, with emerging applications in smart cities and wearable devices. Recent breakthroughs in nanomaterials, MEMS fabrication, and AI-driven signal processing have significantly enhanced gas sensor performance, enabling unprecedented sensitivity, selectivity, and miniaturization. However, challenges such as long-term stability, cross-sensitivity, and cost-effective mass production remain unresolved.
This Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge advancements in MEMS gas sensors and electronic nose technologies, spanning four key thematic areas:
- MEMS Semiconductor Gas Sensors: Materials and processes, sensing mechanisms, device fabrication, packaging solutions, working modes, and performance breakthroughs.
- MEMS Optical Gas Sensors: Materials and processes, sensing mechanisms, device fabrication, packaging solutions, working modes, and performance breakthroughs.
- Other MEMS Gas Sensors: Materials and processes, sensing mechanisms, device fabrication, packaging solutions, working modes, and performance breakthroughs.
- Smart Algorithms: Qualitative and quantitative identification of multi-component gases, gas fingerprint recognition, compensation methods for sensor drift, temperature modulation algorithm, lightweight calibration technology, etc.
- Electronic Nose Applications: Food industry, environmental monitoring, medical diagnostics, product quality monitoring, etc.

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.
