Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I cordially invite you to contribute to a Special Issue entitled “Advances in Nanotechnology and Sensing Technology”. This Special Issue focuses on the latest achievements in biological, biomedical, chemical, and physical sensors for non-invasion, rapid-response, high-performance, and personalized wearable nanodevices. In recent years, the progress has been notable in the use of many sensors with nanomaterials and nanotechnology. The importance of the fundamental developments and applications in the sensors has been recognized. For example, nanomaterials, such as two-dimensional magnetic and layered materials, one-dimensional metal-oxide nanostructures and carbon nanotubes, zero-dimesional gold and magnetic nanoparticles and quantum dots, have been widely investigated in sensing technology given their characteristics. Sensing technology is a new interdisciplinary frontier between nanotechnology and nanomaterial sciences. This is because sensing technology requires the many advantages provided by nanotechnology and nanomaterial sciences, including low cost, small size, and high efficiency for continuous, real time, and long-term monitoring. Here, we would like to review main advances in sensing technology with nanoscience and nanotechnology within the past few years, explore the prospects of application, and discuss the issues, approaches, and challenges with stimulating a broader interest in developing nanomaterial-based sensors and improving their applications in, for example, gas sensors, fast virsus tests, disease diagnosis, and food examination.

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.
