| Summary: | In this tutorial review, we describe the current state of the art in water sensors and provide an overview of the major advances made in this field post 2000. The field is currently still in its early development stages and subject to continuous improvements, and the current work provides a structured approach describing different sensing mechanisms and potential future applications associated with each of these. With these developments and their potential implications for the diverse scientific fields requiring tight control over the water content, we strongly believe the discipline is potentially at the threshold of translation into more widespread application and we hope the current review might allow for an expedited process thereof.
Recent advances in the field of fluorescent and colorimetric sensors for water content/humidity are described. |

| Bibliography: | Jong Seung Kim was born in Daejon, Korea, in 1963. He received a PhD from the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Texas Tech University. After a one-year postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Houston, he joined the faculty at Konyang University in 1994 and transferred to Dankook University in 2003. In 2007, he moved to the Department of Chemistry at Korea University in Seoul as a professor. To date, his research records 355 scientific publications and 55 domestic and international patents. Hyo Sung Jung was born in Seoul, Korea, in 1983. He received his BS degree in chemistry from Dankook University in 2006. He then joined Prof. Jong Seung Kim's lab and is involved in the design and synthesis of fluorogenic probes for detecting specific metal ions or biospecies. He received his PhD in organic chemistry from Korea University in 2013. He has co-authored 25 scientific publications and 7 patents so far. His current research interests include the design and synthesis of fluorogenic probes for biospecies and their applications to the field of DDS. Peter Verwilst was born in Leuven, Belgium, in 1985. He received his PhD from the University of Leuven, Belgium, under the supervision of Prof. W. Dehaen and Prof. W. De Borggraeve in 2011. He subsequently joined the research group of Dr N. McClenaghan at the Univeristé Bordeaux 1/CNRS, France and in 2013 he joined the group of Prof. J. S. Kim as a research professor. He has co-authored 24 scientific publications to date and his research interests include theranostic targeted drug delivery and bio-(in)organic sensors. Won Young Kim was born in Seoul, South Korea, in 1991. He graduated from Dongguk University in 2014 with a bachelor's degree in Chemistry. At present, he is studying for a master's degree under the guidance of Prof. J. S. Kim. His research subjects are in the design and synthesis of drug delivery systems for cancer therapy.
