Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Call for Papers!
Micro/nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS), sensors, and actuators are emerging as a highly innovative and interdisciplinary technology, drawing significant attention from researchers of various fields. MEMS/NEMS mainly involve 3D structures fabricated using CMOS technology with various exciting and vital applications, but sensors and actuators are used on a daily basis in everyday life. These technologies are progressing rapidly in terms of transduction/actuation mechanism and device performances as we are surrounded by and highly dependent on them. MEMS/NEMS, sensors, and actuators are interlinked when it comes to the bigger picture. Advancements in these fields may lead to revolutions in various industries, such as electronic, chemical, healthcare, automobile, agriculture, etc. Progress in MEMS/NEMS, sensors, and actuators represents the progress of humankind.
Topics covered include but are not limited to:
- Theory, design, and fabrication of novel micro- and nano-electromechanical devices
- Gas/chemical/biological/physical sensors
- Micro and nano actuators
- Integration of sensors and actuators
- Flexible sensors and actuators
- Theory, design, and fabrication of novel micro/nano 3D structures

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. Designs 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 1600 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.
