Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metasurfaces, artificial structures consisting of periodic sub-wavelength units, offer versatile platforms for light control and intrigue various novel phenomena and applications in physics, material science, chemistry, biology, and energy. Compared to conventional optics that rely on light refraction, reflection, and diffraction, metasurfaces control the local phase and intensity of electromagnetic waves at the unit level, exhibiting unprecedentedly high degrees of freedom for tailoring optical properties. Metasurfaces not only introduce revolutions of optical elements but also provide unprecedented opportunities for micro-/nano-cavities for light–matter interactions, which are essential for the development of electronic–photonic integrated circuits and quantum information devices. Notably, the thriving study of metasurfaces is building on the remarkable progress of nanophotonic simulation and nanofabrication techniques. In this Special Issue, we would like to cover the new design theory and methods of metasurfaces, the development of nanofabrication strategies to realize targeted nanostructures and nanopatterns, and the promising applications based on the metasurfaces. For this Special Issue, we aim to collect the top research and prospects for fundamentally understanding, fabricating, engineering, and developing novel applications of metasurfaces and stimulate new ideas and directions in the related fields.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
