Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanophotonics explores the rich interactions between light and matter at the nanoscale, revealing unique optical properties beyond conventional limitations. This Special Issue entitled “Advances in Nanophotonics: Physics, Materials, and Applications” of Micromachines welcomes cutting-edge research in plasmonics, metamaterials, nanophotonic structures, self-assembly techniques, spectroscopy, and related interdisciplinary areas. We seek contributions that illuminate both fundamental physical insights and innovative applications across diverse fields including, but not limited to, sensing, imaging, quantum information processing, energy harvesting, and biomedical technologies. By bridging theoretical advances with experimental breakthroughs, this Special Issue aims to catalyze new directions in nanophotonic research and technological development. We invite original research papers, short communications, perspectives, and review articles that advance our collective understanding of this intellectually stimulating and rapidly evolving field.
Dr. Yi-Yu Cai
