Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cheap sensing technologies are essential with the growth seen in the Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The main cost of such devices is mainly due to the cost of management (for example, changing their batteries) or fault detection of a sensor. To this end, low-power smart sensors powered by energy-harvesting mechanisms are in extreme demand in different applications, including but not limited to biomedical devices (wearable or implants), smart farming, smart home, underground IoTs, etc. In this Special Issue, we invite researchers to submit their original ideas on (but not limited to) low-power sensing mechanisms based on novel approaches, low-power sensor interfacing enabled by CMOS circuit and architecture techniques, sensors enabled by emerging technologies such as spintronics, memristive devices, etc., and novel energy-harvesting mechanisms enabling a longer lifetime of IoT devices.

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.
