“PGUOM takes a smarter approach—more like noise-canceling headphones—effectively silencing a broadband of unwanted sounds,” ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

The Shalaev group has further extended the possible applications of optical metamaterials by showing the feasibility of cloaking objects in the visible range. Vlad Shalaev's proposal of cloaking in ...
