Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bioelectronics that can interrogate and manipulate biologically significant functions will enable extensive downstream applications in sensing, energy, and healthcare. However, their performance to date is still limited by inherent structural and functional mismatches at the bioelectronic interfaces. Recent advances in micromachining create substantial opportunities to overcome these mismatches by engineering the physiochemical properties of electronics. In particular, both nano- and soft electronics demonstrate promising improvement for bio-integration through the reduction of device dimensions and/or substrate stiffness, enabling a more biocompatible design with intimate and chronically stable biocontact for implantable/wearable applications. Continual development in this field will ultimately allow seamless integration of the bio-abio systems in bioelectronics and achieve precise and programmable communications with the biological systems.

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.
