Metamaterials—the term may sound esoteric to the layman. In science and engineering, however, this is an interesting field of research that has developed at a highly dynamic pace, particularly since ...

Researchers have developed a design principle enabling the creation of complex patterns on silicon chips by way of microfabrication. Thanks to these patterns, vibrations follow predetermined paths. A ...

A multi-institutional team of optoelectronic and materials engineers in China has developed a type of metamaterial that is nearly invisible across visible light, microwave and infrared spectra. In ...

From sci-fi fantasy to lab reality, metamaterials are bringing invisibility closer than ever. These engineered structures bend light, sound, and heat around objects, erasing their presence. While full ...
