For the first time, scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be achieved using atomic arrays—without the ...

Scientists have found a way to achieve negative refraction—where light bends the "wrong" way—using carefully arranged atomic arrays instead of engineered metamaterials. This breakthrough has enormous ...

Researchers from SANKEN (The Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research) at Osaka University have discovered that ...

The field of metamaterials is an emerging discipline in the early 21st century, attracting significant attention in fundamental science and engineering applications. Recently, a comprehensive review ...

Headed to become a market of over $13 billion, applications include thermal cloaking and illusion for the military and improved energy harvesting, cooling, thermoelectric devices, and thermal ...

Researchers have developed advanced terahertz photodetectors containing 'living' microelectrodes. A vanadium dioxide (VO2) layer was precisely deposited on a silicon substrate. Temperature regulation ...

Exoplanet exploration has taken off in recent years, with over 5,500 being discovered so far. Some have even been in the habitable zones of their stars. Imaging one such potentially habitable ...

Lightsails operate by harnessing radiation pressure from a light source, such as the Sun or lasers, to propel a spacecraft.

Nanorobotics is the technology of creating machines or robots at or close to the scale of a nanometer - 1 billionth of a ...

Metamaterials offer unique properties by combining "meta" (beyond) and "material," providing electromagnetic characteristics superior to conventional ...
