ThisSpringerimprintispublishedbytheregisteredcompanySpringerNatureSwitzerlandAG Theregisteredcompanyaddressis:Gewerbestrasse11,6330Cham,Switzerland Preface This book collects some of the papers presented at the XXI Italian Conference on Sensors and Microsystems. The conference was held on-line on 10th and 11th February 2022. The conference was held during the last phase of the pandemics, and it was an occasion for the sensors community to meet again and to restart the research activities. Pandemics strongly affected the research; during lockdown, most of the laboratories were closed, so it is amazing that even in this harsh condition, the research actually did not stop, and researchers have been able to pursue their activities. ThenumberofpapersinthiseditionoftheproceedingsoftheItalianConference onSensorsandMicrosystemsisconspicuouslysmallerrespecttotheothereditions, nonetheless, we believe it is a demonstration that the research on sensors never stops even in difficult circumstances. Thus, it is a sign of recognition of the resi- lience of those that even in these conditions produced results, and it is a promise thatoncefulloperativityisrestored,theresearchonsensorsandrelatedtechnology will return to flourish. Our thanks to the members of the AISEM steering committee for their com- mitment and to the company Athena Consulting srl for providing the excellent technical support that made possible the conference.
