Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metamaterials composed of artificial subwavelength resonators have been widely employed to manipulate electromagnetic waves in various fields. Metasurfaces, the two-dimensional equivalents of metamaterials, are formed by the periodic or aperiodic arrangement of subwavelength elements within ultra-thin films, enabling flexible control over electromagnetic wave amplitude, phase, and polarization. Microwave metamaterials and metadevices have revolutionized modern wireless technologies, offering unprecedented electromagnetic wave manipulation capabilities for applications ranging from 5G/6G communications and radar systems to biomedical imaging.
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in the design, fabrication, and implementation of microwave metamaterials and meta-devices. Thus, this Special Issue welcomes research papers, communications, and review articles to showcase transformative approaches that bridge theoretical innovations with practical applications.

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.
