Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues, 

Biosensors, with the support of electronic devices, are capable of providing accurate measurements, fast assessments, and real-time, accurate, and specific diagnoses of people’s health conditions, mainly thanks to several of their characteristics, such as their sensitivity, selectivity, stability, linearity, detection time, and limit of detection. Such properties enable physicians to accurately diagnose specific diseases or physiological conditions by detecting a specific biomarker, promptly initiating the therapy required to prevent further aggravation.

This need drives broad research efforts into designing, fabricating, calibrating, and reliably detecting biomarkers using biosensors. To address the challenges encountered in the above, this Special Issue invites high-quality submissions with significant scientific and technical contributions on key topics related to biosensors, including the following: 

  • Biosensor design, fabrication, and applications;
  • Biosensor simulation and modeling;
  • Smart materials for energy conversions towards biosensing technologies;
  • Self-assembled nanomaterials with durability, stability, and biocompatibility, focusing on biosensor fabrication;
  • Biodegradable materials for biosensing applications;
  • Biomolecular electronics;
  • Signal processing and data analytics for biosensing;
  • Flexible electronics in biosensing applications;
  • Data analytics and machine or deep learning techniques for biosensing applications;
  • Wearable biosensors and bioelectronics;
  • Lab-on-a-chip biosensing platforms for disease and health monitoring. 

We cordially invite you to contribute research and review articles or communications focusing on the abovementioned aspects. 

Sincerely,
Dr. Ahmed Hasnain Jalal

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. Micromachines 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 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.
