Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bio-inspired NEMS/MEMS includes novel materials, structures, devices, or systems in nano/micro scales, whose phenomena, principles, characteristics, functions or features are inspired, adopted or augmented from those of biological living creatures in nature. The goal of bio-inspiration is to create novel inventions, improvements, technical breakthroughs, or solutions in order to overcome the existing ones on the basis of a creative in-depth understanding of biological living creatures. Thus, we consider the bio-inspired approach not as a method but as a solution for a new class of technological innovation in NEMS/MEMS.

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.
