Transducers and Micro/Nano-Technology

 Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will include high-quality papers presented during the 11th Asia–Pacific Conference of Transducers and Micro-Nano Technology (APCOT2024), which is a biannual conference of the Asia–Pacific scientific community on advanced sensors, actuators, and micro/nano-technology (https://www.apcot2024.org/). This Special Issue focuses on MEMSs, NEMSs, and their application.

This Special Issue aims to highlight the recent novel developments in cutting-edge MEMS transducer technologies, including original research articles and topical reviews on material, design, and fabrication technologies; novel applications in physical, chemical, and biomedical fields; new characterization methods; and packaging and microsystem integration solutions. We would like to encourage our colleagues to submit their excellent work to this Special Issue.

The topics of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Material, fabrication, and packaging technologies;
• Physical sensors and micro/nano-systems;
• Chemical sensors and micro/nano-systems;
• Bio/biomedical sensors and micro/nano-systems;
• Medical devices and micro/nano-systems;
• Micro/nano-fluidics;
• Micro-electromechanical systems (MEMSs) and nano-electromechanical systems (NEMSs);
• RF MEMSs/NEMSs;
• Optical MEMSs and nano-photonics;
• The energy and power MEMSs/NEMSs;
• Novel applications of micro/nano-systems.

Although this Special Issue primarily seeks original research and review papers extended from the APCOT conference proceeding, high-quality submissions outside of the conference proceeding but within the scope of this Special Issue will also be considered for publication.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
