Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
An emerging paradigm in engineering is the design of materials to act as simple building blocks in order to achieve complex functionality at multiple scales. The discovery of new nanomaterials such as low-dimensional nanomaterials, new metal alloys and functional polymers, has been leading these developments, and more materials and engineering design options have been given to scientific and engineering societies, with demands to advance the current existing technologies as well as to develop new functional applications. However, challenges persist in integration of nanomaterials to device architectures, control of material properties, and realization of functional devices, for practical applications. To tackle these challenges, it is crucial to develop multidisciplinary, integrated approaches, to enable precise manipulation of these materials compatible with integrating them into existing engineering systems as well as for the development of new concepts of device architectures.
In this perspective, this Special Issue of Micromachines aims to showcase research papers, short communications and review articles that focus on advanced nanoscale manufacturing techniques which enables high-degree of controls in nanomaterial manipulation, additive/subtractive fabrication of functional nanostructures, and fabrication of novel functional nanodevices based on low-dimensional nanomaterials.
We look forward to receiving your submission of outstanding research outcomes.

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 2600 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.
