Kyoto Prize winners came to San Diego for this year’s symposium. Kyoto Laureate John Pendry talked about the theory of ...

What are metamaterials and what can they do? The prefix meta (a Greek word meaning ‘beyond’) indicates that the characteristics of the material are beyond what we see in nature. Metamaterials are a ...

Sir John Pendry’s lecture showed how engineered materials make sci-fi real, from invisibility cloaks to microscopes revealing ...

The conversion of CO2 into e-fuels by light offers a sustainable solution to close the carbon cycle. Researchers at the ...

Enter Dr. Gregg's idea—she proposes using metamaterials for her starshade, which is robotically constructed in orbit. Metamaterials have several advantages over existing proposed starshades (one ...

Metamaterials that mimic the order in matters have opened an exciting gateway to reach unprecedented physical properties and functionality unattainable from naturally existing materials. The "atoms" ...

Owing to the wave nature of light there are many ways that such different waves can interact with each other, but also with materials. Everyone knows about reflecting light with a mirror, which is ...

The finding opens the door to more widespread use of so-called "mechanical metamaterials," a class of materials whose internal structures -- often produced via digital manufacturing techniques ...

Negative refraction of light using atoms instead of metamaterials Date: February 12, 2025 Source: Lancaster University Summary: Scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be ...

Explore second-generation beamforming and its advanced signal processing algorithms that enhance network efficiency.

For the first time, scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be achieved using atomic arrays—without the need for artificially manufactured metamaterials. Scientists have long ...
