Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Section “Nanotechnology and Biosensors” of Applied Sciences covers an important domain of research and development. Nanotechnology is playing an increasingly important role in the development of biosensors, improving their sensitivity and performance. With the introduction of new signal transduction technologies, this field has reached a high level in production of biosensors that allow simple and rapid analyses. Many domains of activities are included, ranging from biomolecular recognition and medical (pathogen) diagnostics to agriculture, the food and drink industry, environment protection, etc.
This Special Issue intends to gather original scientific peer-reviewed articles and review articles featuring important and recent developments and achievements of nanobiosensor production and application, with a special emphasis on real and potential applications. The authors are well-known experts in their domain who are invited to submit their contribution at any moment from now to the end of June 2021. Papers can cover either experimental or theoretical aspects or both, with a focus on the improvement of the basic characters of a biosensor (linearity, sensitivity, selectivity and response time) and on the employment of nanomaterials (metal nanoparticles, oxide nanoparticles, magnetic nanomaterials, carbon materials, quantum dots and metallophthalocyanines) to improve the electrochemical signals of biocatalytic events that occur at the electrode/electrolyte interface.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
