Women in Micromachines

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to present this special collection of articles highlighting the achievements of women scientists in micro/nanoscale structures, materials, devices, and systems from all around the world. This Special Issue is devoted to presenting research performed by early and advanced-career female scientists.

Micromachines is a peer-reviewed open access journal concerning all aspects of micro/nanoscale structures, materials, devices, and systems, as well as related micro- and nanotechnology, from fundamentals to applications. Its Impact Factor has increased continuously in recent years, reaching 3.4 in 2022. Its primary areas of research interests include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Micro/nanoscale structures, devices, systems, and applications;
• Micro- and nanotechnologies for biological, chemical, medical, environmental, and energy applications;
• Micro- and nanoscale fabrication and manufacturing technologies;
• Theories and analyses of multiphysics phenomena in micro/nanoscale;
• Material developments for micro- and nanostructures.

Communications, original research papers, and review articles are welcome. Biographies or articles celebrating outstanding women researchers are also welcome.

Articles where the lead authors are women, or that are completely authored by women, are encouraged. We welcome submissions from all authors, irrespective of gender.
