Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue "Nanomaterial-Integrated Biosensing Microdevices and Systems: Challenges and Opportunities", aims to explore the developments and challenges in integrating nanomaterials into biosensing applications at the micro and system levels. Nanomaterials offer exceptional advantages in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and adaptability, creating new possibilities for real-time detection in medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and other sectors. Despite these rapid advancements, integrating these nanomaterials into functional microdevices presents hurdles such as material compatibility, stability, and scalability.
The current landscape in this field is marked by an increasing number of groundbreaking innovations, yet this is coupled with a slow rate of commercial translation. There is an expanding recognition of the technology's potential, but achieving systemic integration while maintaining robust performance remains at a bottleneck.
We invite original research papers, reviews, and case studies that cover various aspects of nanomaterials in biosensing technology, ranging from novel sensor designs to real-world applications. This Special Issue seeks to provide a multidisciplinary platform to stimulate dialogue among researchers and practitioners, aiming to expedite the journey of nanomaterial-integrated biosensing technologies from the lab to real-world applications. We highly encourage scholars in this dynamic field to contribute their valuable insights and findings.
Prof. Dr. Liang He

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.
