Engineers have fabricated a metamaterial that is not only strong but also stretchy. Their new method could enable stretchable ceramics, glass, and metals, for tear-proof textiles or stretchy ...

A team of MIT researchers developed a new fabrication method that allowed to make existing materials strong but stretchy.

By arranging the nanoscale unit cells in a desired geometry, the refractive index of the metamaterial can be adjusted to positive, near-zero, or negative values. Among the most sought-after properties ...

Recent studies have demonstrated engineering metamaterials with unprecedented characteristics such as left-handedness with simultaneous negative permittivity and permeability, negative lens that focus ...

In this graduate survey course, we will discuss the structure, properties, and applications of metamaterials including photonic bandgap materials, negative index materials, digital alloys, and quantum ...
