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.

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

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 ...
