Advancements and Applications of Biomimetic Sensors Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

Biomimetic sensors are innovative technologies that draw inspiration from biological systems to design and develop sensors capable of mimicking or replicating certain functions or properties found in living organisms, including a series of partially selective chemical sensors or biosensors. These sensors mimic the structure, function, and principles of biological systems to achieve superior performance and have gained significant attention due to their potential to offer unique capabilities and advantages across various fields. Recent advancements and applications of biomimetic sensor technologies include the following: enhanced sensing abilities, miniaturization and integration, biological recognition elements, flexible and versatile platforms, bioinspired materials and structures, real-time monitoring and control, biomedical applications, environmental monitoring, robotics and autonomous systems, and bio-inspired sensing mechanisms. Overall, biomimetic sensor technologies hold immense potential to revolutionize various fields by offering advanced sensing capabilities, enabling real-time monitoring and control, and facilitating the development of innovative solutions to complex challenges in healthcare, environmental monitoring, and beyond. Continued research and development in this area are expected to drive further advancements and applications of biomimetic sensors in the coming years.

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.
