Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the concept of symmetry has emerged as a fundamental design principle in the development of advanced electromagnetic devices, enabling compact, high-performance, and energy-efficient systems. From metamaterial-inspired sensors and antennas to artificial intelligence-assisted signal interpretation, the exploitation of structural and field symmetry has led to significant progress in both theoretical and applied electromagnetics.
Symmetry is delighted to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue “Symmetry and Its Application in Electromagnetic Devices”, which seeks to showcase innovative research and technological advances leveraging the principles of symmetry for next-generation electromagnetic systems.
This collection aims to present recent theoretical, computational, and experimental developments in which the concept of symmetry plays a crucial role in the design, optimization, and performance enhancement of electromagnetic devices and systems. This scope aligns closely with Symmetry’s focus on the fundamental and applied aspects of symmetrical and asymmetrical phenomena in science and engineering. We encourage contributions from fields including microwave and millimeter-wave engineering, antenna and resonator design, metamaterials, photonic structures, and AI-driven electromagnetic analysis.
In this Special Issue, original research articles, short communications, and comprehensive reviews are welcome. Research topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Symmetry-based design of planar and substrate-integrated microwave devices;
- Symmetrical and asymmetrical metamaterials and metasurfaces;
- Resonator and antenna systems exploiting geometrical or field symmetry;
- Machine learning and AI-driven modeling of electromagnetic phenomena;
- Symmetry-inspired sensing, imaging, and signal processing techniques;
- Bioinspired and biomimetic electromagnetic device architectures.
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.
