Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
MEMS and MICRO-MACHINES cover a great market in today's user applications, from communications to the automotive, and from domestic electronics to bioengineering applications. The research activity is rich and intense. For example, equipment both for geoscience applications and aerospace include High-reliability MEMS, and new technology is in progress in this area. The types of models used for the current devices are linear. The control is very simple and often not suitable for advanced and strong applications. Therefore, the future effort that must be emphasised in the area is both to study nonlinear models and to advance low-cost control algorithms. The aim of the SI is to include papers that face the previous consideration. This means to propose both nonlinear new classes of MEMS and new control strategies. In fact, even if imperfections are present in technology, they can be positively used in the context of nonlinear dynamics approaches. The various topics will be considered for this SI:
- New class of nonlinear MEMS.
- Innovative principles and nonlinear technologies.
- Embedded control algorithms in MEMS.
- Platforms to design MEMS devices with nonlinear behaviour.
- MEMS with green peculiarities.
- Soft computing techniques for controlling MEMS Arrays.
- Developments of nano-MEMS devices.
- Quantum MEMS.
The Special Issue will take into account the topic of mathematics for MEMS.

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.
