Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The integration of nanotechnology with advancements in modern photonics possesses the potential to significantly impact various application areas, particularly in medical research and diagnostics. These nanomaterials exhibit exceptional thermal, electrical, mechanical, and optical properties that are not present at the microscale. When combined with other materials to form 'nanocomposites', they often deliver superior performance compared to bulk materials—offering increased strength, improved thermal and electrical conductivity, and enhanced optical, magnetic, and biosensing capabilities. The potential of these advanced materials is further unlocked when integrated with microphotonic devices, paving the way for novel research opportunities and applications across materials science, engineering, chemistry, physics, biology, and the field of biosensors.
This Special Issue focuses on the latest advancements in the development of such materials and nanocomposites, covering their application in sensing and biosensing. We strongly encourage individuals interested in contributing original research and review papers on relevant topics—including, but not limited to, those outlined in this Special Issue—to submit their work for publication.

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.
