Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Driven by advances in micro/nanofabrication technology, magnetic microrobots with microscale advantages and precise magnetic control have become a promising cutting-edge interdisciplinary field. In biomedicine, they enable targeted drug delivery in order to reduce normal tissue damage and assist minimally invasive surgeries to shorten patient recovery. They also capture waterborne micropollutants like microplastics for environmental governance and support high-precision assembly of microcomponents such as MEMS in precision manufacturing. Yet, challenges like motion stability in complex biological environments remain unaddressed. This Special Issue, entitled “Design and Application of Magnetic Microrobotics”, invites the submission of original research and reviews. It covers design aspects including high-magnetic-response material selection, bionic structural optimization and magnetic actuation innovation, as well as application aspects like clinical translation verification, scenario-specific performance testing and interdisciplinary integration with imaging and sensing. The Issue aims to integrate latest global findings, build an academic exchange platform, tackle technical bottlenecks, accelerate the translation of magnetic microrobot technology from lab to real-world clinical and industrial use, and boost progress in related fields.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Magnetochemistry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2200 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.
