Letter from Editor: 

I am pleased to announce the 1st International Electronic Conference on Micromachines and Applications, which will be held on 1-15 November 2017 on this special platform, Sciforum, developed by MDPI in 2017. The conference offers a forum for the latest works on micro- and nanoscale machines. I encourage contributions on significant and original works related to all aspects of micro/nano-scaled structures, devices, systems as well as related micro- and nanotechnology ranging from fundamental research to applications. The conference is virtual and being held at Sciforum.net (http://sciforum.net/conference/ECMA-1); sponsored by the open access journal Micromachines. MDPI created this platform to organize conferences in electronic format, and to provide our research community with the technical support for hosting our digital conferences. The conference will cover the following main topics:

A. Fundamental micro/nano phenomena

B. Materials for micromachines

C. Micro/nano fabrication and manufacturing technologies

D. MEMS and NEMS

E. Microfluidics and nanofluidics

Participation is free of charge—both for conference proceedings’ authors and attendees. Accepted papers will be collated in the proceedings of the conference, and selected papers may be published in Micromachines, an open access journal covering the field of micromachines and their applications (http://www.mdpi.com/journal/micromachines).

I am looking forward to participate in exciting discussions, hearing new ideas and perspectives in the field and welcoming all participants to the online conference.

Best regards,

Prof. Dr. Nam-Trung Nguyen
