Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Continuous innovation in Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and Nano-Electro-Mechanical Systems (NEMS) is essential for progress across nearly all major sectors, from healthcare and the automotive industry to telecommunications and consumer electronics.
In recent years, the field has been invigorated by powerful new drivers. The growth of the Internet of Things and 5G/6G, coupled with the rise of Artificial Intelligence, has acted as a significant catalyst. This has created new demands and unprecedented opportunities for MEMS/NEMS to evolve in terms of their performance, functionality, and integration. This Special Issue is dedicated to capturing the full, diverse spectrum of these advances. We welcome original research articles and reviews that focus on deepening our fundamental understanding of this domain, developing physical functionalities, or demonstrating system-level integration.
Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:
- Dynamics, stability, and control in MEMS/NEMS;
- Advanced multi-physics modeling;
- Reliability, packaging, thermal management, and long-term stability;
- RF MEMS and MOEMS;
- MEMS/NEMS resonators;
- Piezoelectric MEMS;
- Flexible, stretchable, and wearable MEMS/NEMS;
- Devices based on new or emerging materials;
- BioMEMS and MEMS for brain–computer interface (BCI);
- AI-enabled and “smart” MEMS/NEMS;
- Sensing applications of MEMS/NEMS.

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.
