Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to an upcoming Special issue on Micro/nano robotics Technologies In Applied Science and Engineering. Many researchers consider Feynman's "There is plenty of room at the bottom" remark in 1959 to be the starting point for the development of micro/nano system technology (MST/NST), from which nanotechnology and bio-nanotechnology came into existence. The emergence of serious research into these tiny robots gave rise to the initial concepts of micro/nano robotics. In recent years, these tiny robots have been finding their place in the scientific community in a variety of applied science, engineering, and biotechnological applications.
Micro/nanorobotic systems for nanomedicine and pharma focuses on small-scale robotic systems that may be augmented with biochemical entities for biomedical applications including nanomedicine and pharma. The goal of this Special Issue is to report significant developments in such novel research fields.
Micro/nano- and biotechnologies, as well as small-scale robotics, are the focus of this special issue, which covers their theory, experimentation, and applications. Analysis and synthesis from the micro/nano to the biological levels of robotics are encouraged, fostering both theoretical and applied engineering research. Articles in this special issue are both analytical and descriptive in nature. Researchers and critics alike are encouraged to submit their best work for possible publication. According to the journal's guidelines, all submissions will undergo blind peer review. Conference papers that form the basis of a manuscript need to be considerably expanded upon. If the goal is met, the Special Issue will be published as a book.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following: micro/nano bio-robotics, BioMEMS/NEMS, Biological Engineering, Point-of-care diagnostics, Micro/nano actuators, Soft/Condensed Matter Physics, and Micro/nano swimmers to name a few.
I/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 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. Micromachines 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 2600 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.
