Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Micromanipulation and biosensing are two rapidly growing fields that have significant potential to revolutionize various industries such as healthcare, biotechnology, and nanotechnology. This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest advances in these fields and their applications.
One of the key topics covered in the Special Issue is microrobotics, which involves the design and fabrication of micro- and nano-scale robots capable of performing a variety of tasks. This includes robots that can be used for drug delivery, tissue engineering, and even environmental monitoring.
Another focus of the Special Issue is on biosensors, which are devices that can detect and measure biological or chemical substances in a sample. Biosensors have significant applications in medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and food safety. The Special Issue also features the advanced development of novel biosensors and their integration with microfluidics and microrobotics.
Furthermore, this Special Issue includes manuscripts on biomanipulation, which involves the manipulation of biological cells and tissues at the micro- and nanoscale. This includes techniques such as optical trapping, magnetic manipulation, and electrophoresis, and their various applications such as cell sorting, tissue engineering, and drug discovery.

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. Sensors 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 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.
