Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last few decades, noble metal nanoparticles (NMNs), particularly gold and silver, have been widely utilized in the development of novel chemical/biological sensors and bioimaging applications due to their unique physical and chemical properties. With an improved understanding of these particles and their alloy forms, advances in fabrication and synthesis, and the integration of AI technology, new developments in this field are readily anticipated. This Special Issue of Nanomaterials focuses on the following aspects of NMNs in biosensing and bioimaging:
- The fabrication and synthesis of new NMNs, hybrid particles, and metal alloys and an understanding of their properties;
- A deeper understanding of how NMN particles and variations interact with targeted chemicals or biomolecules and the resulting signal changes;
- Key issues in sensing or imaging measurements, such as data pre-treatment, reproducibility, repeatability, and replicability, particularly in detection or imaging from complex media with potentially high background signals;
- The integration of artificial intelligence in sensor design, data analysis, and interpretation;
- The development of point-of-care devices and new applications in sensing and bioimaging.
We warmly welcome original articles and review submissions.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.
