Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on the design and application of field-effect transistor (FET) biosensors, artificial sensory neurons, neuromorphic devices, and their expanded functionalities, such as artificial vision sensors, artificial tactile sensors, biomimetic gas sensors, and biomolecular fluid sensors. The aim of this Special Issue is to explore the potential of employing FET-structured device in artificial perception and biomimetic sensing.

FET biosensors hold great promise in the field of biosensing and biomedical applications. By designing artificial sensory neurons and neuromorphic devices based on FETs, the fusion of artificial intelligence and biology becomes possible. Additionally, incorporating FET characteristics enables functionalities like artificial vision, tactile sensing, biomimetic gas sensing, and biomolecular fluid sensing.

This Special Issue aims to gather original research articles and reviews showcasing advances in FET-based biosensors, device design, innovative applications, challenges, and future prospects. It provides a platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration among scientists, engineers, and researchers in the fields of artificial perception and biomimetic sensing.

In summary, this Special Issue highlights the design and application of FET-based biosensors, artificial sensory neurons, and neuromorphic devices. By leveraging FETs, researchers can achieve artificial perception and biomimetic sensing capabilities, including vision, touch, gas detection, and biomolecular analysis. The Special Issue seeks to promote research, drive technological innovations, and advance the fields of artificial perception and biomimetic sensing.

The continued advancement of organic electronic technology will establish organic electrochemical transistors as pivotal instruments in the field of biological detection. Here, we present a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art technology and advancements in the use of organic electrochemical transistors as biosensors. This review provides an in-depth analysis of the diverse modification materials, methods, and mechanisms utilized in organic electrochemical transistor-structured biosensors (OETBs) for the selective detection of a wide range of target analyte encompassing electroactive species, electro-inactive species, and cancer cells. Recent advances in OETBs for use in sensing systems and wearable and implantable applications are also briefly introduced. Finally, challenges and opportunities in the field are discussed.
