Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting submissions to a new Special Issue, entitled “Technical Advances in Electromagnetic Metamaterials: Physics, Devices, and Applications”.
Electromagnetic (EM) metamaterial is a human-made material deliberately engineered to exhibit some electromagnetic properties that are difficult or impossible to find in natural materials. The novel properties of negative/zero index of refraction, sub-wavelength super lenses, electromagnetic invisibility cloaks, omnidirectional hyperreflective multilayer film, enhanced nonlinearity, etc., exhibit impressive applications that extend beyond those of conventional materials. The application techniques of EM metamaterials on optical filters, remote aerospace, medical devices, sensor detection, smart solar power collectors, radomes, optical communication and lenses, high-gain antennas, etc., are attracting increasing interest. The innovative concepts of metamaterials will lead to new phenomena and practical devices, which will be an important direction of future developments.
Research on electromagnetic metamaterial involves many different fields, such as electrical engineering, electromagnetics, optical engineering, solid state physics, microwave and antenna engineering, optoelectronics, material sciences, nanoscience, and semiconductor engineering.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
