Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past decade, remarkable progress has been witnessed in the field of metamaterials and metasurfaces, offering a unique avenue for generating, guiding, modulating, and detecting light, thanks to their structural features that are significantly smaller than the operational wavelength. The development of metamaterials and metasurfaces has paved the way for intriguing applications, ranging from achieving a negative index of refraction, imaging with sub-wavelength resolution, beamforming, polarization control, wavefront shaping, data processing, and highly flexible sensing and modulation. This special issue aims to provide a comprehensive platform for researchers, scientists, and engineers to share their latest findings, innovative designs, and practical applications in this rapidly evolving domain.
The special issue welcomes original research articles, review papers, and technical notes that cover, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Fundamental theories and modeling of metamaterials and metasurfaces
- Design and optimization of metamaterials for electromagnetic wave manipulation
- Novel metasurface architectures for beamforming, polarization control, and wavefront shaping
- Active and tunable metamaterials and metasurfaces
- Nonlinear and quantum effects in metamaterial-based systems
- Metamaterial-inspired antennas and radomes
- Applications in telecommunications, radar systems, stealth technology, and energy harvesting
- Experimental characterization and measurement techniques for metamaterials and metasurfaces
- Integration of metamaterials and metasurfaces into smart and adaptive structures
- Emerging trends and future perspectives in electromagnetic wave manipulation technologies

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. Nanomaterials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2900 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.
