Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanomaterials and nanostructures have attracted significant attention in the past two decades, motivated by their growing importance in a wide range of applications, including catalysis, nanoelectronics, nano-optics, energy storage, and biological sensors. For example, nanostructures formed by peptide self-assemblies have been shown to be promising candidates of bioinspired semiconductors given their precise molecular structures, tunable morphologies, and biomolecular recognition. Moreover, nanomaterials have demonstrated great success in wearable and structural energy storage technology, which cannot be achieved with conventional materials. Driven by the increasing demand for nanostructured materials with desirable properties, numerous efforts have been dedicated to developing nanoscale fabrication, characterization, and manipulation techniques, which define the key topics of nanotechnology.
Accordingly, this Special Issue seeks to showcase research papers, communications, and review articles that focus on recent advances in experimental techniques and applications, as well as theoretical/computational modeling of state-of-the-art nanostructure/heterostructure fabrication techniques, advanced material characterization methods, and strategies for tailoring and manipulating material properties using physical and chemical means. These include but are not limited to self-assembly, top-down and bottom-up growth methods, 2D heterostructure fabrications, advanced scanning probe microscopy and electron microscopy characterizations, chemical functionalization, strong light–matter interactions, and nanostructure-enabled devices.

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.
