Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the transformation optics (TO) technique was proposed for the design of an electromagnetic invisibility cloak in 2006, various other applications have emerged over the last decade. TO shows that the space for light can be designed and engineered using metamaterials, leading to the possibility of controlling light flow. Moreover, TO has been extended into several other domains of physics, including acoustics, elasticity, and thermal flow. New manufacturing techniques, such as 3D printing, have further allowed for implementing TO-based broadband devices.
This Special Issue of the journal Applied Sciences, “Metamaterials and Transformation Optics”, aims to cover recent advances in metamaterial engineering for the development of TO as well as related applications. We invite theoretical, computational, and experimental papers ranging from basic research and new design ideas, to the development of advanced and functional applications of the TO concept.

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.
