Advanced MEMS and Resonator Technologies: Design, Control, and Real-World Validation

Dear Colleagues,

Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and resonator technologies play an important role in modern sensing, timing, and signal processing applications across a wide range of sectors, including electronics, healthcare, automotive, aerospace, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Their miniaturization, high sensitivity, and integration potential continue to drive interdisciplinary research at the intersection of materials science, device physics, circuit design, and control engineering.

This Special Issue aims to highlight the recent advances in the design, modeling, fabrication, control, and validation of MEMS- and resonator-based devices. We welcome both fundamental research and application-oriented studies that advance the performance, robustness, and scalability of these technologies.

We particularly encourage submissions that address challenges in multiphysics simulation, novel resonator architectures (e.g., acoustic, piezoelectric, optical, electromagnetic), MEMS sensor and actuator development, and system-level integration. Contributions demonstrating experimental validation, especially under real-world operating conditions, are highly valued.

To ensure broad impact, this Special Issue invites papers across a wide range of application domains, including biomedical sensing, environmental monitoring, wireless communication, industrial automation, aerospace systems, and wearable or consumer electronics. Studies focusing on measurement methodologies, benchmarking, frequency stabilization, and long-term system reliability are also welcome.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:

• MEMS and resonator design and optimization
• Acoustic, piezoelectric, electromagnetic, or optical resonator structures
• MEMS-based sensors and actuators for physical, chemical, or biological signals
• Multiphysics modeling, control strategies, and dynamic system simulations
• Microfabrication, packaging, and system integration techniques
• Signal conditioning, frequency control, and readout circuits
• Experimental validation, benchmarking standards, and long-term stability
• Applications in biomedical sensing, environmental monitoring, RF systems, industrial automation, and wearable electronics

I look forward to receiving your contributions.

Dr. Sen Bing

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
