Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, with the enormous development of medical devices, there is a high demand for wearable and implantable sensors that facilitate real-time detection and diagnosis of biomarkers or chemicals near the body in various fields including therapeutics, pharmaceutics, and environment monitoring.
Real-time detection in sensors claims a breakthrough of the materials and methodologies to overcome the conventional systems. In this regard, novel sensing materials such as functional polymers, biomolecules (e.g. polynucleotides and proteins), and semiconductors have intensively been used as a core material of sensors which has significant properties of a fast and specific response, biocompatibility, and easy engineering. Besides, the microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology has been studied for the structural engineering and fine-tuning of the sensing segments in the devices, enabling cutting-edge performance.
We address both fundamentals and applications to cover recent impressive research in real-time wearable and implantable sensors. Fundamental studies include the discovery and engineering of novel sensing materials, MEMS process, sensing mechanism, and characterization. Applications cover chemical sensors, biosensors, drug delivery, closed-loop therapeutics, wireless system, brain-machine-interface, and other environmental monitoring. This Special Issue introduces new insights on real-time detection and diagnosis for advanced sensor technologies. We look forward to receiving your submissions!

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.
