Metamaterials are artificial composite materials composed of at least two different materials. They possess a large number of ...

In this latest instalment of Future Chronicles, an imagined history of future inventions, Rowan Hooper reveals how ...

Cloaking device may make cell phone static vanish By Reuters January 15, 200911:09 AM PSTUpdated January 15, 2009 ...

It’s called active cloaking, which means it uses devices that actively generate electromagnetic fields rather than being composed of ‘metamaterials’ [exotic metallic substances] that ...

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 ...

Zero-index metamaterials (ZIMs) have the potential to revolutionize electromagnetic and microwave applications. Researchers have created a highly homogeneous ZIM by embedding high-permittivity ...

Additionally, research on diffusion metamaterials has expanded the application of transformation principles to control not just electromagnetic waves but also the diffusion of heat, particles, and ...

Scientists have long sought to control light in ways that appear to defy the laws of Nature. Negative refraction - a phenomenon where light bends in the opposite direction to its usual behaviour - has ...
