Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to contribute to a Special Issue of the journal Micromachines, "Nanomaterials-based biosensors", which aims to highlight recent advances in the development of biodetection devices including their novel architectures, fabrication and measurement strategies, as well as theoretical studies. We target the interdisciplinary community acting in the area of nanosensors, biotechnology and lab-on-a-chip integrated systems, to create a collection of articles enabling the synergies necessary to improving quality of life.
The delivery to the market of novel intelligent systems with rich functionalities, providing strong benefits in the health-care field, is among the most crucial challenges for the scientific community and industrial players. The tight interaction between diverse disciplines has led to the emergence of a new class of bioinspired systems that enable the creation of the area of electronic nanobiosensorics to a new level. Such systems are merely based on new nanomaterials—such as nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, nanowires, 2D material sheets as transducers—for the production of novel sensor devices, which could open the way for new advances and opportunities.
Potential applications of such systems lie in the areas of the life and environmental sciences, where the analysis/diagnostic tools based on integrated sensors can assist in solving the multiple problems, e.g. related to high throughput analyte screening and biological cell phenotyping. From the point of view of the practical aspects relevant to everyday life, the miniaturized sensors can be a part of wearable gadgets for personalized use, aimed at monitoring the health status of the user. Furthermore, the high sensitivity, miniature size and low power consumption make them suitable to becoming a part of the smart home or smart city concept, offering the safe monitoring of air (gas sensors), water (pathogens, toxic wastes), and food quality.

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.
