This Special Issue is devoted to recent advances in electromagnetic sensors and sensing technology, both for direct and indirect measurements. Electromagnetic sensing technologies are central to a wide spectrum of applications, including non-destructive testing (NDT) and evaluation of materials and structures, biomedical diagnostics and monitoring, geophysical exploration and subsurface characterization, and remote or contactless measurement of electrical currents and sources. Across these domains, the common scientific challenge lies in extracting reliable and physically meaningful information from possibly indirect, noisy, and often incomplete measurements. This challenge naturally leads to demanding sensing technologies able to suitably reduce errors and uncertainties. In addition, recent progress in theory, computation, and data-driven methods have significantly expanded the range of solvable electromagnetic inverse problems. In this way, artificial intelligence plays a growing role both in the design of innovative sensors and in the treatment of data.
