Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sensors play increasingly crucial roles in environmental monitoring, gas/chemical/disease detections and the monitoring of radioactive environments. Some typical application examples include environmental protection (detection of explosive gases and toxic gases), diagnostic and patient monitoring, nuclear decommissioning and security applications, and household combustible gas detection. Nowadays, with the rapid integrations of artificial intelligence, smart and sensitive materials, and nanotechnology into sensors, many more accurate, accessible, and highly reliable sensors have been developed to detect a wide range of gases and radioactive hazard elements. Meanwhile, it should be noted that the development of smart sensors reduces the need for humans to enter radioactive and toxic environments, for example, areas of high gamma/beta mixed wastes and the release of poisonous gas.
This Special Issue covers both theoretical and experimental aspects of the sensors applied in various gas and radiation environments and provides an opportunity for researchers to present their creative, novel, and latest ideas on these topics, which include but are not limited to gas and radiation sensing instrument design, radiation simulation and experimental material design, radiation shielding, and gas absorption.

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.
