Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
MEMS sensors have paved the way for the development of many industries through providing precise and small sensing solutions across healthcare, automotive, consumer electronics and environmental monitoring, among others. MEMS sensors today use latest the innovations in materials, fabrication and signal processing to provide very high sensitivity, lower power consumption and improved reliability. Artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) symbiosis has further enhanced their functions, and they are considered essential in smart systems and autonomous technologies.
Here, we present a Special Issue to review MEMS sensor technology, summarizing new results, trends and challenges in the field.
Topics of interest are new sensing ideas and applications, advances in manufacturing (suchs as with novel 3D printing techniques) and their near-term implications in edge-computing and self-powered systems along with MEMS. This Special Issue will also discuss the role of MEMS sensors in upcoming-generation applications such as biomedical diagnostics, wearable devices and Industry 4.0. We will provide an in-depth survey of MEMS sensor developments as they affect future technologies by bringing together experts and thought leaders in both academia and industry.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Francesco Cottone
Guest Editor
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. Electronics 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.
