Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Molecular Robotics has been an area of study with rising attention since the invention of the first nanorobot decades ago. Three scientists were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2016 for their pioneering work on developing nanorobots, which are approximately one thousand times smaller than a human hair. Although research in nanorobotics and applications is still in its early stages, it has tremendous potential to lay the foundation for miniaturized technologies and find applications in many related fields such as novel materials, sensors and biomedical applications. Over the past decade or so, exciting approaches have been developed for nanorobotics and the diverse applications of nanorobotics, while advanced technologies are still desperately needed for practical nanorobotics. Accordingly, this Special Issue seeks to showcase research papers, and review articles that focus on advanced technologies in the preparation and application of nanorobotics including novel nanorobotic mechanisms, methodology for development, and/or associated applications.
We look forward to receiving your submissions!
Dr. Tao Zhou
Guest Editor
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.
