Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electromagnetic and acoustic devices with higher-order flexibility are continually promising and urgently required for energy transmission manipulation. With the rapid development of material innovations and performance advancements, more sophisticated electromagnetic and acoustic devices with novel characteristics have attracted broad research attention due to their profound applications in radar communications, broadcasting, and telecommunications. Great efforts have been made in electromagnetic wave transmission, reflection, absorption, shielding, and invisible cloaking for electromagnetic devices. Multiple scenes with severe circumstances have encouraged the promotion of acoustic devices with outstanding tunable functions. Based on physical field theory, various synthesis mechanism have led to the multifunctional field effects of novel electromagnetic and acoustic devices. This Special Issue aims to give an outlook on what the future might hold for novel electromagnetic and acoustic devices.
It is our great pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcomed on themes including, but not limited to, the following:
- Novel electromagnetic/ acoustic devices;
- Reconfigurable or intelligent electromagnetic/ acoustic devices;
- Transformation optics and invisibility cloaks;
- Absorbers and frequency selective surfaces;
- Topological insulators;
- Multifunctional metadevices.

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.
