Advanced Nanomaterials and Applied Nanotechnologies: Devices, Processes and Systems

Dear Colleagues,

The advances of nanotechnology facilitate the nanomaterials to achieve enhanced properties, such has higher transparence, flexibility, conductivity and environmental friendly. Furthermore, it increases the power of electronic devices, improves the density of memory chips, and helps reduce power consumption and the size of transistors used in integrated circuits, leading to faster, lighter, and more portable systems that can store and transfer higher volume of information. In the area of energy scavenging, various nanoscience-based solutions are being adapted to convert waste heat from computers, automobiles, homes, power plants, etc., to usable energy. Computer-based method has been a powerful tool for facing the challenges in the next-generation nanotechnology, providing insights into the complex mechanisms of molecular dynamics under micro or nano scale, and valuable directions to the future experiment.

Accordingly, this Special Issue seeks to showcase research papers, short communications, and review articles that focus on the following areas:

• Processes and systems for advanced nanomaterials synthesis and device manufacturing;
• Applications of nanomaterials in Electronics and Information Technologies, Medical and Healthcare, Energy Storage and Conversion;
• Theory, modeling, simulation and data analysis/visualization tools to understand the fundamentals of Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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 2100 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.
