Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite being considered a mature field, physics research continues to be a vibrant and active topic throughout the world, with the number of publications continually increasing over time. The continued interest in the application of physics and engineering mathematics demands new ways to share cutting-edge research in the field. Physics research is important not only from a fundamental point of view but for its engineering and industrial applications including machinery, electronics, material, and biological industries. The international competitiveness of those industries in a globalized economy is closely tied to their technologies and products.
The ICPEM2020 provides an opportunity to be part of scientific acceleration for world-class personalities, young scholars, scientific delegates, and young scientists to join in this conference to utilize the expertise and novelties that will lead to a new era for innovations in the field. It also provides a special channel to have open discussions, knowledge sharing, and interactive sessions with field experts.
This Special Issue will publish the latest physics and engineering mathematics research trends, including applications, advanced technologies, and processes. It covers several fields of physics and their technological applications, such as advanced theoretical physics, condensed matter physics, statistical physics, nonlinear mechanics, optics, atomic and molecular physics, quantum physics, biological modeling and information, chemical physics, materials physics, and other related topics. It also includes different fields of engineering mathematics, such as analytical models applied to electrical engineering smart grids and power distribution lines, mathematical models for engineering oceanography, mechanics and acoustics, and for different classes of metamaterials and sensors devices and other affine topics.
We personally invite you and your colleagues to submit a contribution in the form of original scientific reports, research articles, communications, and review articles for this Special Issue. We would like to thank the presenters and speakers in advance for your attendance at this conference and your submissions. We look forward to a stimulating exchange.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Dr. Josh Sheng, (email: [email protected]).
For any questions regarding the journal, you may also get assistance from the editorial office (Assistant to the Editor Ms. Marin Ma, email: [email protected])
Looking forward to hearing from you.
The 2020 International Conference on Physics and Engineering Mathematics (ICPEM2020) will take place during 19-20 September 2020, in Beijing, China.

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. 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 2000 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.
