Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Society is always striving to evolve, to develop new technologies and can help mankind on a daily basis. Micro- and nanomaterials have been playing a major role in the development of innovative technologies and can now be found in our daily life. Ever since they emerged the number of possible applications grew exponentially and now they can be used as sensors in areas as diverse as, environment (e.g., pollutants, gases), agriculture (e.g., in food packaging and food safety), and health (e.g., guided-drug delivery systems, bacterial and viral sensing). Indeed, they played a major role in the development of new technologies for SARS-CoV-2 during the current pandemic. Their versatility is also demonstrated by their application in energy storage devices, LEDs, smart windows, among others. The synthesis methods of these materials is also as diversified as their applications and the development of faster and sustainable methods for their production is maximizing their real application in health, physical, electronics, photonics, and energy. This is an area of great expansion that can provide powerful tools in numerous areas.

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.
