Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanomaterials have revolutionized the field of biosensing, offering unparalleled sensitivity, selectivity, and functionality. This Special Issue, entitled Novel Biosensors Based on Nanomaterials, explores the development and application of biosensors that leverage these advanced materials to detect and quantify biological or chemical substances across diverse fields. These innovative biosensors integrate nanomaterials such as carbon-based materials (e.g., graphene, nanotubes), metal nanoparticles, quantum dots, and polymer nanocomposites, which exhibit unique electronic, optical, and mechanical properties.
Nanomaterials can be employed in domains such as healthcare diagnostics, environmental monitoring, food safety assurance, and industrial process control. While nanomaterials have significantly enhanced the performance of biosensors, challenges such as scalability, stability, and reproducibility remain. Advances in nanotechnology, materials science, and data integration via the application of IoT, AI, and ML are leading to innovations that address these limitations, paving the way for next-generation biosensors with enhanced robustness and practical applicability.

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.
