The 15th Anniversary of Micromachines

Dear Colleagues,

Micromachines (ISSN 2072-666X) published the inaugural issue in 2010; it has experienced a tremendous growth in terms of the number and quality of scientific publications, and has been covered by the Science Citation Index Expanded (Web of Science), Ei Compendex, Scopus and PubMed, etc. To celebrate the 15th anniversary of Micromachines, we are currently organizing a Special Issue to commemorate this important milestone.

Micromachines is a peer-reviewed open access journal on all aspects of micro/nano-scaled structures, materials, devices, systems as well as related micro- and nanotechnology from fundamental research to applications. Its primary areas of research interests include the following:

Fundamental micro-/nano-scale multiphysics phenomena and devices;

Various materials based micro- and nano-structures, devices, systems and applications;

Micro- and nano- fabrication and manufacturing technologies;

Micro- and nano-technologies in biological, chemical, medical, environmental and energy applications.

All scholars in the community are invited to submit original articles, critical reviews, and short communications on any of the above-listed topics. Please also encourage any of your colleagues who may be interested to submit manuscripts.

We expect that this issue will attract considerable attention, as we prepare to celebrate the excellent scientific contributions and socio-economic impacts of Micromachines over the past 15 years.
