SPECIAL ISSUE INFORMATION
Dear Colleagues,
Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) is a fast-expanding field with wide-rangingapplications, from lab-on-a-chip systems to new actuators to flexible devices. Microelec-tromechanical Systems have generated excitement because they offer novel and improvedfunctionality, as well as lower cost.
This special issue seeks to capture recent developments as well as shape futuredirections. Our goals are to demonstrate interesting, high-quality researches, to encouragethe MEMS community, to enhance the understanding of the challenges and opportunitiesin the field, and to inspire new approaches and ideas.
The topics covered include: microsensing, microactuation, micromechanical struc-tures, materials for microsystems, and the design and construction of MEMS. The dimen-sions of MEMS components typically range from nanometers to millimeters, and this field is sometimes referred to as NEMS as well as MEMS to emphasize that engineering on the scale of nanometers is included in the tiny world of today’s microsystems.
In the view of the recent advances in this exciting field, Vietnam Journal of Me-chanics will publish a special issue dedicated to MEMS. We invite papers in all areas ofMEMS and the diverse field of applications including communications, biomedical engi-neering, micro-optical systems, microfluidics, micropower generators and storage devices,including but not limited to the following topics. Papers may be original contributions orreviews, and they may be experimental or theoretical.

SUBMISSION
Manuscripts should be submitted online at http://vjs.ac.vn/index.php/vjmech by registering and logging in to this website (or directly sent to Guest Editor’s email of trinhcd@vnu.edu.vn). Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. Papers will be published continuously (as soon as accepted) and listed together on the special issue website. Research articles,review articles as well as communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and shortabstract (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 un-der consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceeding papers). Allmanuscripts are refereed through a peer-review process. A guide for authors and otherrelevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions forAuthors page.Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript.
