Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Micromachines entitled “Novel Electromagnetic/Nanophotonic Devices: Designs and Optimizations” is dedicated to cutting-edge research on electromagnetic and nanophotonic devices, with a strong focus on theoretical and computational design and optimization. Highlighting emerging areas such as metasurfaces, metamaterials, topological photonics, reconfigurable photonic devices, and on-chip photonic integration, this Special Issue places particular emphasis on contributions leveraging inverse design, advanced optimization algorithms, and artificial intelligence (AI—including machine learning and deep learning) to realize unprecedented device performance. Submissions focusing on novel methodologies, high-fidelity simulations, and interdisciplinary approaches bridging photonics, nanotechnology, and computer science are especially encouraged. While this Special Issue primarily targets computational and theoretical advancements for next-generation photonic and electromagnetic devices, contributions that include experimental validation or practical demonstrations are also welcome. This forward-looking Special Issue invites authors to push the frontiers of photonics and optical engineering through innovative device concepts, advanced optimization techniques, and cross-disciplinary perspectives aimed at driving future technological breakthroughs.

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.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2100 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.
