Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, “Electromagnetic Waves: Applications and Challenges”, focuses on the diverse applications and current challenges associated with electromagnetic waves and their application in various fields of science and technology. It aims to bring together the latest advances in theoretical research, experimental techniques, and practical implementations involving electromagnetic wave generation, propagation, and interaction with matter. It will explore topics such as novel antenna designs, wave propagation in complex media, microwave imaging, innovative sensor applications, the role of electromagnetic waves in next-generation wireless networks, remote sensing, biomedical engineering, and energy harvesting. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Electromagnetic wave propagation;
- Antenna design and optimization;
- Wireless communication;
- Microwave imaging;
- Metamaterials and metasurfaces;
- Biomedical applications of electromagnetic waves;
- Biological effect of electromagnetic fields;
- Radar and remote sensing;
- Energy harvesting and wireless power transmission;
- Computational electrodynamics.

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.
