Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanoparticles has revolutionized micro/nanofabrication prototyping in terms of energy and biomedicine over the past few years. With the recent improvements in battery technologies, highly complex electrodes can be fabricated via cost-effective chemical and physical protocols as a promising alternative to the conventional costly fabrication processes. Nanoparticles have enabled a wide range of energy and biochemistry applications, such as cancer detection, high-throughput drug testing, electrode development, and paint at visible absorption for SARS-CoV-2 inactivation. These nanoparticles enable agile iterative design and facilitate rapid prototyping and applications according their properties. This can make nanoparticle technology more accessible to researchers in various fields, and accelerates innovation in the field of nanoparticles. Accordingly, this Special Issue seeks to showcase research papers, communications, and review articles that focus on novel methodological developments in nanoparticles and their use for various biochemical and energy applications.

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 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.
