Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Actuators are becoming increasingly necessary in various industries and applications, such as manufacturing, transportation, vehicles and airplanes. In particular, actuators using electromagnetic forces have excellent characteristics. On the other hand, superconducting materials demonstrate many beneficial properties, such as zero electrical resistance, perfect diamagnetism, pinning effect and permanent current. Therefore, superconducting actuators with these excellent characteristics carry great potential. In this Special Issue, we will focus on actuators and actuator systems with superconducting characteristics and the related actuators. A wide variety of journal papers are welcome.

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 papers will be 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. Actuators 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 1600 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.
