AI-produced outcomes have been proven comparable or even superior to the performance of human experts in drug design, material discovery, and medical diagnosis. In these applications, lab on a chip technology, in particular microfluidics, plays an important role as a platform for both the construction and implementation of AI in a large-scale, high-throughput, automated, multiplexed, and cost-effective manner.
The goal of this thematic collection is to highlight new advances in this growing field with an emphasis on the interface between technological advancements and impactful applications.
Miniaturised sensors and diagnostics
Submissions open:
Open for submissions now
Deadline:
Ongoing
Guest Editor(s):
Yoon Kyoung Cho and Xingu Jiang
In this special collection, we focus on the critical importance of the sensor to the lab on a chip, whether the sensor relies on optical, chemical, electrical, or mechanical forces (or many others).
This collection also focuses on how lab-on-a-chip/sensor systems are being used to form next-generation of miniaturized diagnostics, whether they are implantable, wearable, portable, or simply used in the lab.
Nanoscale
Halide Perovskite Optoelectronics
Submissions open:
Open for submissions now
Deadline:

Guest Editor(s):
Lakshminarayana Polavarapu (University of Vigo, Spain), Maria Antonietta Loi (University of Groningen, Netherlands), Haibo Zheng (Nanjing University, China) and ‪Joseph M. Luther (National Renewable Energy Laboratory, USA)
Over the past decade, metal halide perovskites, both in the form of thin films and colloidal nanocrystals, have emerged as a leading candidate for optoelectronic applications because of their exciting properties including defect tolerance, long charge carrier diffusion lengths, high photoluminescence quantum yield, and facile fabrication using relatively low-cost precursors. This special-themed collection aims to provide a platform for the latest developments that address the challenges of halide perovskite optoelectronics.
Nanozymes
