Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With technological advancements, dielectric- and metal–dielectric-based hybrid metasurfaces have seen tremendous growth in light manipulation in various fields of science and technology. In recent years, these metasurfaces have become groundbreaking tools in the field of nanotechnology, offering unprecedented control of light matter interaction through subwavelength elements. They facilitate the creation of highly sensitive biosensors capable of detecting minute biomarker concentrations, which is crucial for early disease diagnosis. Additionally, metasurfaces enhance imaging systems, providing superior resolution and contrast for the detailed visualization of biological structures. These metasurfaces can be used for optical trapping and the manipulation of microscopic particles, including cells and nanoparticles. This Special Issue delves into metasurfaces presenting various theoretical and experimental results with target applications in biomedicine. Original research and review articles are welcome. The wavelength range includes, but is not limited to, visible and near-infrared light.

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. Biosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
