Analytical and Nanoanalytical Methods for Biomedical and Environmental Sciences

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

This topic focuses on advanced analytical and nanoanalytical methods supporting current developments in biomedical, environmental and food sciences, at the interface of materials science, nanotechnology and data-driven analytics. Recent progress in advanced spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques, high-resolution mass spectrometry, nanoanalytical characterization, surface and interface analysis, and advanced microscopy and molecular imaging has enabled detailed investigation of complex biological, environmental and engineered systems across multiple length scales.

A strong emphasis is placed on advanced materials, biomaterials and functional nanomaterials for applications in healthcare, environmental monitoring, food safety and energy-related systems. The topic also highlights smart analytical platforms, including sensors, microfluidic and lab-on-a-chip systems, designed for real-time, in situ and distributed measurements.

Particular attention is given to chemometrics, artificial intelligence and machine learning, applied to analytical data interpretation, materials discovery, predictive modeling and autonomous analytical workflows. Contributions that bridge fundamental analytical research with applied engineering challenges are especially encouraged, demonstrating how innovative analytical strategies and intelligent data integration can enhance performance, efficiency and sustainability in real-world applications.

We invite original research articles, reviews and perspectives addressing, but not limited to, the following:

• Advanced spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques
• High-resolution mass spectrometry and separation science
• Nanoanalytical methods for structural, chemical and functional characterization
• Surface, interface and solid-state analysis
• Advanced microscopy and molecular imaging
• Smart sensors and integrated sensing platforms
• Microfluidics and lab-on-a-chip analytical systems
• Green and sustainable analytical chemistry
• Advanced materials, biomaterials and functional nanomaterials
• Nanomaterials for smart systems: AI-driven design and integrated devices
• Chemometrics, artificial intelligence and machine learning in analytical sciences.

Please feel free to contact us and send us suggestions that you would like to discuss beforehand.

We look forward to your contribution and welcome your participation in this Special Topic.
