Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Symmetry and asymmetry are crucial factors that affect the performance of micro/nano-electromechanical systems (MEMSs/NEMSs). As ideal materials for resonator-based MEMSs/NEMSs, the symmetric/asymmetric properties of low-dimensional nanostructures should be discussed. Nonlinear dynamical systems are the essence of resonator-based MEMSs/NEMSs. Data-driven and machine learning methods are powerful tools that can be used to analyze the long-term behavior of nonlinear dynamical systems. Therefore, the symmetry and asymmetry in data-driven and machine learning methods for nonlinear dynamical systems should be considered. This Special Issue aims to cover symmetry and asymmetry in MEMSs/NEMSs. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The mechanical properties of low-dimensional materials;
- The molecular dynamics modeling of NEMSs;
- The theoretical analysis of MEMSs/NEMSs;
- Nonlinearity in MEMSs/NEMSs;
- Nonlinear dynamical systems;
- Data-driven and machine learning methods.

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. Symmetry 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 2400 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.
