Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Micro/nanomachines can move automatically and perform complicated tasks. Their wide application is sure to bring about revolutionary changes in many fields, such as biomedicine, micro/nanoengineering, environmental monitoring and remediation, food safety, and social security. To further promote corresponding exploration and application, the 2019 International Conference on Micro/Nanomachines (http://www.icmnm.org/) is to be held in Harbin, China, 25–28 August 2019. This conference will focus on “Propulsion at Micro/nanoscale”, which includes but is not limited to:
- Micro/nanomotors (active colloids);
- Molecular and DNA machines;
- Micro/nano sensors;
- Micro/nanoactuators; and
- Micro/nano robotics.
Papers attracting the most interest at the conference, or those that provide novel contributions, will be selected for publication in this Special Issue of Micromachines. These papers will be peer-reviewed for validation of research results, developments, and applications.
We hope that this Special Issue benefits the efficient sharing of the latest significant results and inspired viewpoints on an international scale, and thus propels the research on micro- and nanomotors across the globe.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
