Cloaks are just one example of metamaterial technology. Other metamaterials allow light to travel one way but not the opposite—a valuable tool for communication and detection of objects—and to ...

Figure 1: Notion of digital metamaterials inspired by digital electronics. Figure 2: Scattering from the single digital metamaterial ‘bytes’. Through a series of numerical simulations ...

Metasurfaces are thin-films composed of individual elements that have initially been developed to overcome the obstacles that metamaterials are confronted with. An example of a metasurface, which can ...

Despite the exotic material properties that have been demonstrated to date, practical examples of versatile metamaterials remain exceedingly rare. The concept of metadevices has been proposed in ...

Once built, these metamaterials could be put to use doing specific computational tasks that are best suited to an analog approach. Taking derivative of an algebraic function, for example ...

The MetaHub is being supported by £19.6m in public and private funding - announced by science minister Lord Patrick Vallance ...

MetaHUB, the innovation hub which includes King's College London, will develop new forms of engineered materials for use in ...

The human eye, for example, measures reflection of sunlight from objects, and radar observes reflection off radar waves from objects. The same objects made of metamaterials could achieve near-zero ...

Examples of this are cases of iridescence in nature (like butterfly wings) and eye color, where the perceived colors are the result of environmental light interacting with these structures rather ...

for example, water or glass. Over the past two decades, scientists have managed to create artificial materials whose refractive indices are negative; these negative-index metamaterials defy normal ...

Overall behavior of composite materials and metamaterials. The fundamentals of homogenization ... and periodic approaches with examples from particulate, whisker, platelet, and fiber-reinforced ...
