Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electromagnetic (EM) sensors are integral to modern sensing technologies, offering continuous, non-contact, and real-time detection across diverse applications. By leveraging electromagnetic fields, these sensors enable the precise measurement of physical properties such as permittivity, permeability, conductivity, and impedance. Their versatility makes them indispensable in fields such as industrial automation, biomedical diagnostics, structural health monitoring, and geophysical exploration. Recent advancements in materials science, manufacturing processes, and signal processing techniques have significantly improved the sensitivity, resolution, and robustness of EM sensors. These developments have paved the way for emerging applications in smart wearables, IoT-based remote sensing, and next-generation communication systems. This Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research on the design, modeling, fabrication, and application of EM We welcome contributions on novel EM sensor designs, emerging metamaterials, AI-driven enhancements for EM sensors, and innovative applications for EM sensing across diverse fields. By bringing together experts from academia and industry, this issue seeks to advance EM sensing technologies and foster interdisciplinary applications.

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.
