Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Terahertz (THz) wave lies between the microwave and infrared bands in the electromagnetic spectrum ranging from 30 μm to 3000 μm. With their non-ionizing, non-invasive, high penetration, high resolution, and spectral fingerprinting properties, THz spectroscopy and imaging have attracted significant interest for qualitative and quantitative research in the biomedical field. Combined with modern imaging technologies and artificial intelligence algorithms, THz-based imaging shows promising applications in biomedical applications such as the early diagnosis of cancer, accurate boundary determination of pathological tissue, non-destructive detection of superficial tissue, etc. Despite decades of development, THz technologies still face challenges in practical biomedical applications. Within this context, this Special Issue aims to collect and report the latest THz sensing and imaging developments in both fundamental science and practical biomedical applications. The topics covered within this Special Issue include but are not limited to the following:
- Advanced THz sensing and imaging technologies;
- Novel bioimaging and biosensing based on THz technologies;
- THz spectroscopy qualitative and quantitative analysis;
- Application of THz technologies in biodetection and medical imaging;
- Impact of THz wave on biomolecules, cells, or organs;
- Other promising biomedical applications of THz technologies.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
