Frontiers in Nanopore-Based Analytics

Dear Colleagues,

Nanopores, that is, nanoscale pores, have the inherent characteristics of high sensitivity and high spatial resolution and, therefore, have broad application prospects in sensing and analysis. It is generally considered an indispensable platform and tool in the research field of fundamental ion transport and molecular sensing. Thus far, nanopore analytics, based either on solid-state nanopores or biological nanopores and their hybrids, have offered versatile platforms for testing fundamental concepts of molecular stochasticity and ionic transport at the nanoscale, for studying single-molecule biophysics, and also for new analytical applications in biomedical sensing.

The goal of this Special Issue is to collect publications focused on promising and novel research trends in the field of nanopore-based analytics. We welcome submissions of original research, reviews, mini reviews, and perspective articles. Themes of particular interest include:

1. Construction of novel nanopore-based platforms and analytics for sensitive sensing of single molecules, single particles, and single cells;
2. The exploration of new methods and strategies of nanopore-based analytics and their innovative sensing applications;
3. Data analysis and theoretical simulations of nanopore-based molecular and/or ionic transport studies.

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. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
