Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) and NEMS (nanoelectromechanical systems) are some of the most famous interdisciplinary research fields, requiring knowledge about a variety of research areas such as biotechnologies and nanotechnologies, as well as micro/nano-fabrication techniques.
The intersection of these technologies and the creation of integrated systems will impact many application areas, including medical research and diagnostic systems. Small, low-cost, low-power medical devices are essential for improving health care delivery, screening multiple medical diseases at the point of care, and detecting infectious pathogens associated with pandemic illnesses in global health applications.
The aim of this Special Issue is to gather original contributions or review papers from researchers that are actively engaged in developing new ideas and providing critical diagnostic devices which combine nanometer-scale devices and materials, such as metal and carbon nanoparticles, with molecular-recognition systems and optical, mechanical, or electronic transduction platforms to produce highly sensitive, high-throughput, and high temporal, spatial, and spectral resolution biochemical sensors. There is a strong and growing interest in research relating to life sciences and medicine, with a particular focus on bioelectronics, biophotonics and bio-MEMS, integrated circuit design, system-on-chip design, image sensor design, bioelectronics, and micro/nano-fabrication.

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.
