Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue has been compiled in collaboration with the 6th International Electronic Conference on Applied Sciences, which has been organized by Applied Sciences and will take place from 9 to 11 December 2025 on the MDPI Sciforum platform (https://sciforum.net/event/ASEC2025). We welcome submissions from conference participants, with the aim being to publish selected extended versions of the presented papers in this Special Issue of Applied Sciences.

The following areas are covered:

  • Applied biosciences and bioengineering;
  • Nanosciences, chemistry, and materials science;
  • Computing and artificial intelligence;
  • Electrical, electronics, and communications engineering;
  • Mechanical and aerospace engineering;
  • Energy, environmental, and earth science;
  • Food science and technology;
  • Applied physical science.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • Reprint: MDPI Books provides the opportunity to republish successful Special Issues in book format, both online and in print.

Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the predominant etiological agent responsible for lower respiratory tract infections in young children. Recurrent infections throughout an individual’s lifespan can lead to significant morbidity, particularly in the elderly and in adults, influencing the trends of hospitalization rates. Consequently, it is imperative to develop technologies that can sanitize environments from this pathogen while being compatible with human presence. Structure Resonant Energy Transfer (SRET) is the scientific principle underlying a sanitization technology that has demonstrated efficacy against several enveloped viruses, including SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza A viruses. SRET employs specific frequencies of electromagnetic waves to effectively disrupt the structural integrity of viral envelopes through dipole coupling. This disruption leads to the inactivation of the virus, rendering it non-infectious. The objective of this study is to analyse the effect of a specific SRET sanitization method on RSV. The sanitization test was conducted in aerosol form within a BSL-3 laboratory, exploring the frequency band from 8 to 16 GHz. An optimal sub-band was identified, giving an inactivation efficiency up to 99.5%. In conclusion, it has been demonstrated that the microwave non-thermal sanitization method is effective against RSV. These results confirm its potential as a viable approach for environmental decontamination. Full article
