Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heat and mass transport at the micro/nanoscale plays essential roles in many industrial and engineering applications, such as electronics cooling, microfluidics, material processing, biochemical analysis, chemical engineering and reactors, to name a few. At the micro/nanoscale, the surface tension, phase change and other interfacial characteristics together create complex but interesting symmetric/asymmetric transport phenomena, significantly different from those at macroscale. This Special Issue provides a vehicle for researchers to exchange their ideas regarding heat and mass transfer throughout the world, focusing on not only the physical fundamentals, but also novel applications and techniques developed based on the micro/nanoscale transport process.
Topics of interest in this Special Issue include:
- Symmetric/asymmetric transport phenomena and fundamentals at micro/nanoscale;
- Interface, phase change and multiphase flow;
- Fluid–structure interactions and particle–fluid interactions at microscale;
- Symmetric/asymmetric flow instabilities;
- Advancing techniques and applications based on the micro/nanoscale transport process, including, but not limited to, electronics cooling, biochemical analysis, microfluidics, material process, etc.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
