Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sensor science and engineering are relevant to virtually all aspects of life, including safety, security, surveillance, monitoring, and awareness in general. Sensors are central to industrial applications being used for process control, monitoring, and safety. More importantly, sensors are essential components to medicine being used for diagnostics, monitoring, critical care, and public health. To fulfill the promise of ubiquitous sensor systems providing situational awareness at low cost, there must be a demonstrated benefit that is only gained through further miniaturization. For instance, in the realm of biosensors six parameters describe every sensor: selectivity, reproducibility, precision, stability, sensitivity, and linearity. The performance of biosensors can be improved by miniaturizing all their components—i.e., by approaching the nanoscale, the signal-to-noise ratio is improved, and subsequently, selectivity increases. Recent advancements in the field of nanotechnology and biosensors have facilitated the development of functionalized nanobiosensors that can provide cost-effective, reliable, and rapid diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for different diseases, such as cancer and cardiovascular disorders.

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.
