Advances in Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) and Asymmetry/Symmetry

Dear Colleagues,

The rapid evolution of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) has driven remarkable technological breakthroughs, thereby enabling compact, high-performance devices for diverse applications. Central to these advancements are the design and analysis of components where symmetry and asymmetry play significant roles. Symmetry, defined by proportional balance, is a key feature in both natural systems and engineered designs, while intentional asymmetry can unlock innovative functionalities and enhance performance in MEMS.

This Special Issue, titled "Advances in Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) and Asymmetry/Symmetry," seeks to explore how symmetric and asymmetric properties shape the development of MEMS systems and circuits. We invite researchers and engineers to submit original research, reviews, or case studies addressing challenges and innovations in this domain. Topics may include symmetric design strategies, asymmetric component optimization, fabrication techniques, or applications in sensors, actuators, and beyond.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. 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.
