Novel Micromechanical Resonators, Filters, and MEMS/NEMS Transducers

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to highlight cutting-edge advancements in novel micromechanical resonators, filters, and MEMS/NEMS transducers, focusing on state-of-the-art design, fabrication methods, and innovative applications. The rapidly evolving field of MEMS/NEMS technology has notably enhanced capabilities in telecommunications, sensing, and biomedical fields, thereby necessitating ongoing improvements in resonator precision, filter selectivity, and transducer effectiveness.

We warmly welcome original research papers, comprehensive reviews, and brief communications covering novel device architectures, innovative material applications, advanced micro- and nano-fabrication technologies, and practical deployments in various fields. Areas of interest specifically include the following topics: piezoelectric resonators; electrostatic resonators; MEMS-based radiofrequency filters; high-sensitivity NEMS transducers; resilient resonators for challenging operational conditions; advanced integration methodologies; and novel characterization techniques. Submissions addressing both theoretical modeling and empirical findings on resonance phenomena, energy dissipation, methods for enhancing quality factors, and multi-physics interactions in MEMS/NEMS devices are particularly encouraged.

This Special Issue serves as a valuable forum for researchers and industry experts to exchange groundbreaking insights, thereby promoting interdisciplinary cooperation and further advancing MEMS/NEMS innovations.

We look forward to your contribtuions.

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.
