Micro/Nano-resonators for Sensing

Dear Colleagues,

In the last decades Micro/Nano-resonators have emerged as excellent tools for sensing. Their applications cover a large range of fields going from the detection of extremelly tiny forces to clinical diagnosis. As the size of the devices has been minituarized, researchers have improved considerably their sensititity. Regarding biosensing, Micro/Nano-resonators have been used to detect and weigth single cells, viruses and even proteins, which finds enormous applications not only in clinical dianosis but also in biomedicine.

This Special Issue aims to gather the Micro/Nano-resonator sensing community and emphasize the relevance of this field in plenty of diverse scientific areas. We invite manuscripts for this forthcoming Special Issue on all aspects regarding the application and implementation of these devices, such as advances in fabrication, design and modeling, novel approaches and applications, etc. Both experimental and theoretical contributions are welcome.

We look forward to and welcome your participation in this Special Issue. Topics include but are not limited to:

Biological and chemical sensing
Clinical diagnosis
Environmental analysis and air quality control
Force and quantum sensing
Optomechanical sensing
Thermometry and Humidity sensing
Fluid applications
Design and fabrication of novel platforms
Novel theoretical models

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.
