Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
"Recent Advances in Electromagnetic Non-Destructive Evaluation" comprehensively examines the groundbreaking developments reshaping this critical field. This review highlights the pivotal shift from conventional methods towards sophisticated technologies driven by artificial intelligence, advanced sensor design, and multi-physics modeling. Key focus areas include the application of machine learning for rapid defect identification and sizing, the emergence of flexible and conformable eddy current arrays for complex geometries, and enhanced computational techniques that improve resolution and quantification of subsurface flaws. These innovations significantly boost the capability to assess structural integrity, detect minute damage in advanced materials such as composites, and transition from schedule-based maintenance to predictive lifecycle management. The synthesis of these advances is essential for ensuring the safety, reliability, and longevity of critical infrastructure across aerospace, energy, and transportation industries.

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. 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.
