Recent Trends in Miniaturized Sensors

Dear Colleagues,

Advances in microelectronic fabrication techniques have led to the development of miniatured sensors that can be coupled with smart phones for a nearly unlimited number of practical applications in areas including healthcare, homeland security, and agriculture.

This Special Issue aims to gather research and highlight the design, fabrication methods, and applications of as well as future perspectives on miniaturized sensors. We invite both research papers and review articles for this forthcoming Special Issue, which aims to cover the recent trends in miniaturized sensors for reliable, sensitive, fast, and affordable sensing in different fields of applications.

We look forward to and welcome your contribution to this Special Issue. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following research areas:

• Miniaturized sensor design, development processes, and fabrication;
• Low-cost sensor developments, including disposable/single-use sensors;
• Multifunctional sensor developments;
• Development of sensors focusing on increased reliability;
• Development of sensors focusing on decreasing manufacturing costs and/or achieving higher yields;
• Development of sensors focusing on increased sensitivity and/or selectivity;
• Technologies to improve the performance of miniaturized sensors.

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.
