Laser Micro- and Nano- Processing
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Numerous recent technological advances rely on controllable micro- and nano-fabrication techniques to improve the performance of devices in various applications (e.g., in biomedicine, communications, and energy harvesting). Lasers are uniquely suited for a wide variety of fabrication applications at both the micro- and the nano- scales, in both the production and research environments. In light of this, we announce a Special Issue on "Laser Micro- and Nano Processing" and invite original contributions. We seek not only to report recent developments, but also to mold the future of the field. Example topics include matter interactions, direct write processes, ultra-short pulse laser processing, surface treatment, and 3-D micro- and nano-fabrication.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Costas Fotakis

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.
