MEMS/NEMS for Sensing: Array, Integration, Intelligence and Application

Dear Colleagues,

The continuous advances of micro- and nanotechnology not only require the development of new devices and techniques which allow us to explore the fascinating nanoworld but also provide innovative solutions to old problems. In this respect, micro- and nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS) have been revealed as a relentless approach for exploiting the possibilities provided by the nanoworld. These kinds of systems allow us to characterize a wide variety of phenomena (physical, chemical, and biological) in the nanoscale by using them as sensors and probes. Moreover, applications based on the use of MEMS/NEMS can be the key for the next breakthroughs in intelligent systems, such as the human–machine interface, wearable/flexible healthcare, and intelligent equipment. This Special Issue seeks to compile different research papers, communications, and review articles on MEMS/NEMS for innovative sensing solutions as well as their application in intelligent systems.

We are looking forward to receiving your submissions.

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 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.
