Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of nanotechnology has ushered in a new era of innovation with the advent of sophisticated materials such as goldene, MXene family, Borophene, multifunctional nanogels, quantum dots, piezoelectric and triboelectric materials, DNA origami, covalent organic frameworks, metal-organic frameworks, nanozymes, porous nnaomaterials, etc. These materials exhibit extraordinary optoelectronic, and physiochemical properties along with versatile surface functionalities, thereby greatly enhancing their potential in biosensing applications for designing and developing the next-generation advanced biosensors.
The emergence of these nanomaterial based biosensors signifies a paradigm shift, offering faster response time, multiplexing capabilities, miniaturization, unparalleled sensitivity, selectivity, and accuracy in (bio)analyte detection. Moreover, these biosensors boast high reliability and capability with various transducers, including thermal, electrochemical, mass, and optical. They seamlessly integrate with cutting edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, Internet of things (IoT), nanofluidics, microfluidics, and wearable technology. In electrochemical transducers, nanomaterials serves as an immobilization matrix, facilitating enhanced loading of biological elements such as aptamers, enzymes, antibodies, nucleic acids) owing to their unique surface functionalization capabilities/properties and higher surface-to-volume ratio.
In light of these advancements, we are thrilled to announce our Special Issue, entitled “Advanced Nanomaterials for Biosensing Applications”. This Special Issue aims to showcase recent breakthrough in nanomateraials based sensing platforms, fabrication techniques, sensing methodologies for detecting different biomolecules, (bio) analytes, and microorganisms.
We cordially invite contributions of original research and review articles to explore the current challenges, offer recommendations and illuminate future opportunities in this dynamic and rapidly evolving field.
