Advanced Sensing Technologies for Environmental and Biomedical Analysis

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Rapid advances in sensing technologies are reshaping approaches to environmental monitoring and biomedical analysis. Innovations in materials science, micro‑ and nanofabrication, optics, electronics, microfluidics, and data‑driven methods now enable increasingly sensitive, selective, and portable analytical systems. These developments support faster, decentralised, and point‑of‑need measurements, offering new possibilities for real‑world monitoring and timely decision‑making.

Both environmental and biomedical applications present demanding analytical challenges, from detecting trace pollutants and emerging contaminants to monitoring biomarkers, pathogens, and physiological signals. Addressing these needs requires sensors capable of operating reliably in complex matrices, supporting continuous or in situ measurements, and integrating effectively with digital platforms for data interpretation and communication.

This Topic Issue, “Advanced Sensing Technologies for Environmental and Biomedical Analysis,” aims to showcase recent progress across this broad field. We welcome contributions presenting new sensing mechanisms, advanced materials, innovative device architectures, integrated or wearable platforms, autonomous monitoring systems, and AI‑enhanced analytical approaches. Submissions may include original research articles, reviews, and short communications.

We look forward to presenting a collection that highlights the latest advances and demonstrates the growing impact of modern sensing technologies in addressing environmental and biomedical challenges.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
