Advances in Micro- and Nano- Sensors/Devices for Environmental and Biomedical Applications

Dear Colleagues,

With the rapid advances in Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, the development of miniaturized, portable and flexible micro- and nanosensors/devices is of great interest to both industries and academia. These compact sensors/devices have considerable potential in environmental applications, such as in water quality monitoring, indoor/outdoor gas sensing, soil analysis, and organic/inorganic waste detection. In addition, the use of micro- and nanosensors/devices to detect biomolecules (including proteins, nucleic acids, antibodies, amino acids, enzymes, etc.) and pathogens (such as viruses and bacteria) has become one of the most promising approaches for early diagnosis and treatment in biomedical research.

This Special Issue therefore aims to compile original research and review articles detailing recent advances in miniaturized micro- and nanosensors/devices for both environmental and biomedical applications. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Micro-/nano chemical sensors;
• Micro-/nano electrochemical sensors;
• Micro-/nano biosensors;
• Micro-/nano gas sensors;
• Microfluidic devices;
• Lab-on-a-chip devices;
• BioMEMS devices;
• Point-of-care sensors/devices;
• Wearable and flexible sensors/devices

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.
