About this Research Topic
Sensors applications in evaluating and monitoring air, water, and soil quality, (electro)chemical sensors for the detection of pollutants, cost-effective biosensing devices to provide routine, on-site, and selective detection of target compounds. These are only some of the relevant fields in which sensing research is developing in the African continent. African researchers engage in the field of sensors, showing how many institutions are pushing to be leaders in the innovations for the field. At the same time, this drive towards innovation has to confront the socio-economic and regulatory aspects of research. How can developments in research, specifically in the sensing field, lead to socio-economical and environmental benefits for African countries? Showcasing the state of sensing research in the African continent is important to comprehend how challenges are being confronted and how the development goals for each nation can be reached.
As research is a practical way to find solutions to problems, the goal of this Research Topic is to provide an overview of the most current innovations in sensing research, highlighting specific strategies put in place by African researchers, with the aim of driving innovation.
This article collection will collect high-quality original research articles that showcase problem-solving and innovations in the field of sensing carried out across the African continent. This collection welcomes Review Articles focusing on typical subjects, providing insights and new directions for future research.
In conclusion, This Research Topic welcomes submissions of Original Research, Review, Mini Review, and Perspective articles that cover the entire breadth of the sensing field.
For clarity, contributions to this collection are welcomed only from authors affiliated with Institutions operating on the African Continent.
