Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of superconducting magnets is continuously developing in all fields where this technology is a key ingredient. The construction of large magnets for several applications is showing issues, thus leading to the development of new areas of improvement in well-established design, based on low-temperature superconductors. At the same time, newer materials, such as high-temperature superconductors, have opened the way for new ideas and concepts, posing new challenges for the magnet design. This Special Issue aims to gather the most recent progress and design of superconducting magnets.
The areas of relevance include, but they are not limited to, superconducting magnets for medical applications, e.g., MRI; large applications such as high-energy physics and nuclear fusion; high field experiments; and energy and transport applications, such as fault current limiters and motors. As in the design of superconducting magnets, several design tools are employed. Contributions focused on the most recent advances in the design of and modeling tools for superconducting magnets are welcome for submission.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
