Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electromagnetic metamaterials and metasurfaces have revolutionized electromagnetic wave manipulation, enabling unprecedented control over amplitude, phase, reflection, refraction, polarization, and other characteristics. These artificial structures, with tailored subwavelength designs, find applications in antennas, cloaking devices, sensors, and wireless communication systems. Recent advancements encompass novel physical phenomena, new material properties, functional device innovations, and system integration across microwave to optical regimes.
This Special Issue invites research papers, short communications, and reviews on:
- Novel physical phenomena and their mechanistic elucidation.
- Metamaterial functional devices with improved performance metrics, including but not limited to antennas, filters, amplifiers, etc.
- Applications in communications, radar, sensing, energy harvesting, and related fields.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
