Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid development of micro- and nano-scale manufacturing technology and material science, sensors and actuators have been miniaturized and integrated into microsystems, especially for wearable or implantable devices. Micro/nanostructures in sensors and actuators leverage unique micro- and nano-scale phenomena that are significantly different from those in the macro-scale world. These micro/nanostructures have several merits that enable rapid, accurate, and robust analysis and control. Accordingly, this Special Issue seeks to showcase research papers and review articles that focus on (1) novel methodological developments in micro/nano structures used for sensors and actuators; (2) novel designs, fabrication, and applications of sensors and actuators (e.g., micro/nanofluidic sensors, wearable or implantable sensors and actuators, etc.).
We look 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 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.
