Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of sensing systems has attracted a significant amount of interest from many areas, e.g., industry, environment, and health. The significant advance in technologies in the 21st century is founded on the development of new material combinations at the nanoscale, providing excellent architectures alongside good sensing properties. Nanostructures offer significant advantages to sensors due to their unique physical, chemical, and electronic properties. The deep knowledge in material physics enables us to design multiparameter sensing platforms with high-sensibility and selectivity. Using smart sensors leads to significant improvements in the quality and cost, as well as reducing the time, of investigations, wherever required. Real-time analyses, diagnostics, and monitoring in health care and the environment, to cite just a few applications, can be conducted without special preparations.
This Special Issue aims to cover all aspects of using nanomaterials in sensing systems, including design, fabrication, applications in sensing platforms, results obtained for improved sensor applications and improved sensor application protocols, simulations, and artificial intelligence protocols. Original research articles and reviews are welcome.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
