Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ocean MEMS is a fast-expanding field with many applications ranging from various MEMS sensors to energy-conversion devices. Ocean MEMS is important because of its miniaturization, low power consumption, and high integration. For example, MEMS-based instruments have been developed for measuring the conductivity, temperature, and pressure of seawater in real time. Some MEMS devices have been used to detect and separate heavy metal ions, ocean microorganisms, and other components in seawater. In addition, some systems have been developed to extract minerals such as sodium, potassium, and uranium, and to desalinate seawater. Ocean MEMS has also been used for ocean energy conversion. We invite papers related to ocean MEMS, including both fundamental studies and those on device/system development. We look forward to receiving your papers.

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.
