Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanomechanical biosensors have been investigated and developed for over two decades—not only because they are promising tools for directly detecting biomolecular interactions with great accuracy, but the detection principles, fabrication techniques, sensing materials, and readout system for developing nanomechanical biosensors are attractive topics for researchers. The microcantilever-based biosensor is a good example of the combination of nanotechnology and biotechnology. High-throughput platforms using arrays of microcantilevers also achieve the simultaneous measurement and read-out of multiple samples. As a result, many engrossing applications have been performed and several platforms are being commercialized. This Special Issue covers the discussion of sensor working principles, the types of sensor format, the fabrication methods, and any applications in chemical and biological analysis, as well as considerations for commercial purpose. Here, we would like to invite talented researchers to join us in this interesting field of study, which has the potential to improve the general welfare of society.

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.
