Introduction

Artificial sensory systems have emerged as pivotal technologies to bridge the gap between the virtual and real-world, replicating human senses to interact intelligently with external stimuli. To practically apply artificial sensory systems in the real-world, it is essential to mass-produce nanomaterials with ensured sensitivity and selectivity, purify them for desired functions, and integrate them into large-area sensory devices through assembly techniques. A comprehensive understanding of each process parameter from material processing to device assembly is crucial for achieving a high-performing artificial sensory system.

The aim of this special issue is to provide a forum to review cutting-edge manufacturing technologies and sophisticated applications for achieving nanomaterial-based high-performance artificial sensory system, covering material processing to device integrations. Research Articles and Reviews on emerging materials, synthesis and processing, and novel manufacturing and evaluations of artificial sensory systems are strongly encouraged toward nanomaterial-based electronic sensors; multi-modal sensory system; sensor-in-memory applications; advanced wearable/implantable sensory electronics, etc.

Possible topics, within this scope, include but are not limited to:
