Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will focus on the advanced technologies for the early detection of various health issues and public alert.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant medical and social problems and costed millions of lives worldwide due to its extreme transmission speed and high mortality rates. Thus, early detection and identification of various types of airborne diseases is in urgent need and will be extremely advantageous to our communities. Nowadays, micro and nano bio/chemo-sensors are attracting extensive attention for early detection of health issues by identifying various biomarkers using breath or sweat. Additionally, the integration by smart fabrication of these miniaturized sensors in wearable electronics with self-powered techniques provides enormous opportunities to improve the early diagnosis and analysis for everyone, which is altogether more cost-efficient, accurate, and non-invasive. Moreover, a standalone environment sensor is expected to be developed and utilized for environmental disease (virus) detection and monitoring, providing a safe and reliable in-situ analysis of the environment where people are exposed. This research study will be very stimulating and advantageous to improve the bio/chemo-sensors for early detection of health issues.

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.
