Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photonic nano-/microstructures (e.g., metamaterials and metasurfaces) with tunable properties provide new possibilities in the manipulation of light–matter interactions at the nanoscale, enabling many emerging technologies in novel applications such as advanced imaging, large-bandwidth and high-speed communications, flexible and high-contrast displays, high-capacity data storage, optical computing, and biomedical technologies. Tunable nanophotonics and reconfigurable metadevices are becoming hotspots in optics, since the precise control of optical properties is becoming possible and propelling future applications. Incorporating various tunable materials or reconfigurable structures is a straightforward method for the realization of tunable nanophotonics, and many active tuning and driving methods are being introduced to increase flexibility and applicability. This Special Issue will focus on tunable nanophotonics and reconfigurable metadevices and will publish some of the most recent studies in this area, gathering high-quality research addressing tunable nanophotonics physics and devices spanning the whole electromagnetic spectrum. The Special Issue welcomes contributions regarding a wide range of topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Advanced passive and active nanophotonics;
- New physics and phenomena of tunable nanophotonics;
- Novel designs of functional tunable nanophotonic devices;
- Reconfigurable metamaterials and metasurfaces;
- Tunable nanophotonics based on 2D materials;
- New materials for tunable nanophotonics and reconfigurable metadevices;
- Tunable nanophotonics and reconfigurable devices for novel applications in imaging, light shaping, display, communications, biomedical technology, etc.;
- Active and nonlinear nanoplasmonics and metamaterials;
- MEMS-based metamaterials and metadevices;
- Tunable metamaterials and metasurfaces in the terahertz and microwave regime;
- The nanofabrication and manufacturing of tunable nanophotonic devices;
- Bio-engineered nanoplasmonics and metamaterials;
- The characterization of nanophotonic structures and devices.

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. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
