Dear Colleagues,

The 2022 3rd International Conference on Materials, Physics, and Computers (MPC 2022) will be organized by the International Engineering and Technology Institute and co-organized by NanoFemto Lab, Canada; the Center for Advanced Diffusion-Wave and Photoacoustic Technologies (CADIPT), Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, University of Toronto, Canada; the Hohai University Institute of Physics, China; the Interactions, Dynamics, and Energetics in the Atmosphere (IDEA) Team, Pennsylvania State University, USA; the Integrated Energy Solutions for Entrepreneurs (IESE) Program, Pennsylvania State University, USA; the Wuhan University of Technology Nano Key Lab, China; and the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Northern Illinois University, USA. This conference will be held from July 30 to 31 2022 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (online conference over Zoom). A material is a substance or a mixture of substances that make up an object. Materials can be pure or impure, living or inanimate substances. Materials can be classified according to their physical and chemical properties or according to their geological origin or biological function. Physics is a natural science that studies matter; its basic components, movement, and behavior in space and time; and the related entities of energy and force. A computer is a digital electronic machine that can automatically perform a series of arithmetic or logical operations (calculations) through programming. Modern computers can execute a general set of operations called programs. These programs enable computers to perform a wide range of tasks. Materials, physics, and computers are the three important cornerstones of the development of modern society; thus, research on these three aspects is very meaningful. This conference invites international scholars to make conference reports and present their latest research results, aiming to become the flagship academic conference in the field of materials engineering, mechanical engineering, and food technology. MEF will provide a first-class academic exchange platform for academicians, professors, researchers, teachers, and students around the world. The meeting will be carried out in the form of conference reports, group reports, and paper publications. At the same time, to recognize outstanding manuscripts, the conference will host a best paper award. This conference Special Issue is focused on a wide range of the theoretical aspects and the applications of materials, physics, and computers.

Topics of interest for submission include, but are not limited to:

• Materials physics, materials analysis, and characterization;
• Materials science and physical chemistry of materials;
• Metallic materials: structure, properties, technologies;
• Non-metallic materials: structure, properties, technologies;

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.
