Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since their introduction to the automotive industry in the 1970s, microsensors have acquired ever-growing importance in numerous applications where automatic control is employed.
Nowadays, it is difficult to imagine a modern device that is automatically controlled without a sensor layer. This is true especially with respect to mechatronic systems, where sensors, actuators, and a microprocessor unit are the three essential components. Due to their many advantages (low cost, high reliability, durability, compatibility with electronics, high resistance to mechanical shocks, low power consumption, miniature size), microsensors have been applied more and more frequently in numerous applications related to various branches of technology and science.
Whereas microsensors are used in a standard way in most systems and devices by directly measuring given a physical quantity, they have a broad scope of applications, involving special and untypical methods of measurements, which has led to the development of innovative microsensors.
This Special Issue aims to present untypical applications of microsensors, both commercial MEMS devices as well as custom-built prototypes. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, applications of MEMS accelerometers, MEMS gyroscopes, displacement sensors, and innovative microsensors, as well as original ideas involving direct and indirect measurements of various physical quantities by microsensors.

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.
