Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

To celebrate and highlight the achievements of women in biosensors research, a Special Issue entitled “Women in Biosensors (Volume II)” is being launched, which will present biosensors-related work from leading women scientists. We hope that this Special Issue can further encourage and promote the scientific contributions of women researchers in this field.

This Special Issue welcomes both research and review papers on the most recent and innovative developments of biosensors for applications in the food, health, security, defense, and environmental fields. To be considered for this Special Issue, the corresponding author should be a woman scientist.

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. Biosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.

Organophosphate insecticides with broad spectrum and high efficiency make a great difference to agricultural production. The correct utilization and residue of pesticides have always been important issues of concern, and residual pesticides can accumulate and pass through the environment and food cycle, resulting in safety and health hazards to humans and animals. In particular, current detection methods are often characterized by complex operations or low sensitivity. Fortunately, using monolayer graphene as the sensing interface, the designed graphene-based metamaterial biosensor working in the 0–1 THz frequency range can achieve highly sensitive detection characterized by spectral amplitude changes. Meanwhile, the proposed biosensor has the advantages of easy operation, low cost, and quick detection. Taking phosalone as an example, its molecules can move the Fermi level of graphene with π–π stacking, and the lowest concentration of detection in this experiment is 0.01 μg/mL. This metamaterial biosensor has great potential in detecting trace pesticides, and its application in food hygiene and medicine can provide better detection services. Full article
