A negative-index metamaterial that bends light in the "wrong" direction could have several valuable applications.

For applications like robotics, there's usually a clear division of labor between the processors that control the robot's body and the actuators that actually control the physical changes of that ...

The magnetic properties of a material can affect how it interacts with light. (Courtesy: Ihar Faniayeu/University of Gothenburg) A proposed new optical metamaterial could behave like true one-way ...

Microwaves propagating back and forth through a metamaterial have been used to implement a quantum algorithm. The efficiency of the technique was shown to match that of Grover’s search algorithm, with ...
