Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are a rapidly growing technology, with a wide range of applicability in various sectors such as the automotive and aerospace industries. The market for MEMS resonators in particular is largely driven by increasing demands for miniature, energy-efficient oscillators in applications such as frequency referencing, filters, and resonant sensors. MEMS sensors encompass a wide range of disciplines, with MEMS technology enabling the detection of displacements, pressure, temperature, among others. However, the maturity of many MEMS sensors and components poses challenges to achieving further performance improvements, requiring advances in the study of MEMS dynamics, design, fabrication, and operation.
This Special Issue aims to highlight research advances in the various aspects of MEMS resonators and sensors, such as dynamic analysis, design, and operation. Of particular interest are the impact and exploitation of approaches to enhance performance beyond the current state-of-the-art or the development of novel devices. Specifically, investigations involving any combinations of theoretical (mathematical modelling), computational, and experimental studies are highly welcome. Accepted papers will focus on a range of disciplines and applications of MEMS resonators and sensors, generally falling into one or more of the following themes: (1) MEMS resonator and sensor designs, (2) applications, (3) operation methods, (4) modelling methods, and (5) analysis of dynamics and control. This Special Issue is aimed to be of interest to MEMS researchers and practitioners actively engaged in enhancing MEMS resonator and sensor performance.

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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
