Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The advances in sensor technology, electronics instrumentation, and digital electronics have led to the production of intelligent systems that allow people to live with a sense of protection by monitoring both the parameters relating to their health and the environment in which they live.
Wearable or non-invasive sensors, together with the new information technology products, make it possible to constantly monitor patients, collect data, contact doctors immediately in case of danger, and possibly even to intervene with first aid, even if the patient is at home or away from health facilities. Sensing in environmental monitoring (pollution, food and water quality, etc.) is also particularly important for health protection, as it makes it possible to prevent conditions of physical or health hazard. So, there is a growing demand for more sensitive, selective, and stable sensors, and for new sensing techniques capable of increasing the sensitivity of commercial sensors. Therefore, it is important to focus research activities on the various preparatory aspects for satisfying these requirements: novel materials investigation, sensors preparation and processing, sensors performance characterization, dedicated instrumentation design and realization, data processing, visualization, and communication.
Based on these considerations, the aim of this Special Issue is to collect innovative, original and high-impact results in this area.
Manuscripts from areas of sensing technology are welcome, including, but not limited to:
- Gas and vapor sensing;
- Chemical sensors;
- Optical sensors;
- Microwave sensing;
- Fluctuation enhanced sensing;
- Metal oxide semiconductor sensors;
- Carbon materials based sensors;
- Sensor networks;
- Sensor interfaces;
- Sensors data processing.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
