Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The topic represents a cutting-edge area of research at the intersection of nanotechnology and biotechnology. These biosensors leverage the unique properties of micro/nanomaterials to enhance sensing capabilities, enabling highly sensitive and selective detection of biological analytes.
Key advancements include the development of novel fabrication techniques for micro/nanomaterials, such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, hydrogel, DNA nanostructures, and metal nanoparticles, which offer enhanced surface area, biocompatibility, catalytic activity, optical activity, and conductivity.
Additionally, integration with biological recognition elements, such as enzymes, antibodies, and nucleic acids, further enhances biosensor performance. These advancements hold promise for applications in various fields, including medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and food safety.

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.
