Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanofabrication techniques enable sensors with sub-micron scale features. These sensors are capable of uniquely exploiting physical and chemical nanoscale phenomena or interfacing with biological systems on this scale. Nanosensors offer significant advantages over conventional sensors, for example a response time and high sensitivity, but are often limited by cumbersome fabrication processes. Overcoming challenges in nanofabrication is fundamental to enabling scalable, cost-effective, and timely manufacturing of nanosensors for broad deployment.
The aim of this Special Issue is to serve as a repository of recent developments in the field and promote proliferation of nanofabrication technology for sensors. This Special Issue is specifically focused on detailing novel approaches to nanofabrication, recent advancement in techniques, and improved nanosensors enabled thereby, irrespective of stimuli or application area. This also includes fabrication, deposition, shaping, and integration of nanoporous and nanostructured materials into sensor platforms. Paper submissions that include the keywords below are especially encouraged, but closely related submissions will also be considered.

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.
