Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fluctuation-enhanced sensing (FES) techniques arise from the observation that the microscopic, random fluctuation phenomena in sensors are rich sources of information. Unlike traditional sensing methods, FES acts in a way completely analogous to biological sensing, taking advantage of the fact that the sensed agent changes the statistics of the generated output given that it is the noise (the signal fluctuations) that carries the useful sensory information. The application of FES enables the attainment of sensitivity orders of magnitude higher than those of classical sensing methods, even when compared to standard commercial electronic noses. In order to reach the highest sensitivity, particular attention must be paid to the dedicated instrumentation necessary for the application of the FES technique, and suitable methods for the identification of the agents starting from the measurements must be developed. For this Special Issue, we want to collect contributions that are relevant in the field of FES, focused on sensors, on measurement techniques and instruments, and on algorithms and techniques for the identification of gases and odors.

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.
