Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electromagnetic metamaterials, humanmade structures with exceptional properties not found in nature, have revolutionized the control of electromagnetic waves, enabling unprecedented applications in diverse fields. This Special Issue, "Recent Advances and Applications of Electromagnetic Metamaterials", seeks to highlight cutting-edge research and innovations in this rapidly evolving domain. Contributions are invited to explore novel designs, fabrication techniques, and theoretical breakthroughs in metamaterials, with a focus on their transformative potential in areas such as ultra-compact photonic devices, next-generation wireless communication systems, advanced sensing platforms, and energy harvesting technologies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, tunable and reconfigurable metamaterials, topological metamaterials, nonlinear and quantum-enhanced metamaterials, metasurfaces for wavefront manipulation, and metamaterial-inspired solutions for cloaking, imaging, and radiation control. This issue also welcomes studies addressing challenges in scalability, fabrication precision, and integration with existing technologies. By bridging fundamental research and practical applications, this Special Issue aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and accelerate the translation of metamaterial innovations into real-world technologies that address global challenges in telecommunications, healthcare, energy, and beyond.

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.
