Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The next big thing that going to happened in the world is the Internet of Things (IoT), and sensors are going to be the backbone of it. Therefore, powering sensors using conventional batteries has become a challenge, as the number of sensors is going to be huge. Piezoelectric nanogenerators offer us the opportunity to make sensors self-powered, such that they can run by themselves by harvesting energy from their surrounding vibrations. Wearable piezoelectric nanogenerators can harvest energy from human motions and also can detect physiological signals for health care monitoring applications. Piezoelectricity also opens up the potential for new cooling (piezoelectric fan) and sound generation (piezoelectric speaker) systems.

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.
