Despite their widespread use for performing advanced electromagnetic properties, metamaterial suffers from several restrictions in this technological era. Generally, technology affects the way ...

A new approach to controlling the flow of a plasmatic electron packet at the interface between metallic and dielectric layers is described. The proposed metamaterial structure operates in the optical ...

Metamaterials are a type of artificial material which, as the prefix "meta"—meaning in Greek "after" or "beyond"—indicates, demonstrate electromagnetic properties and other characteristics not found ...

Perfect absorption arises from the strong interaction of valence electrons with light in a conducting material. Optical metamaterial is an effective approach to exploit the superior photon capture ...

This optical micrograph shows an array of microscopic metamaterial samples on a reflective substrate. Laser pulses have been digitally added, depicting pump (red) and probe (green) pulses diagnosing a ...

A new technique incorporates many different building blocks of cellular metamaterials into one unified graph-based representation. This can be used to make a user-friendly interface that can quickly ...

Metamaterials are materials that undergo modification so that they possess properties that don’t naturally occur. This manufacturing process enables them to have high specificity for a particular ...

The metamaterial was fabricated in a single steel sheet with laser engravings creating chiral microstructures. It is the first metamaterial to be made of a single medium. Disclaimer: AAAS and ...

Researchers led by Yong Lin Kong of Rice University have created a soft yet powerful metamaterial that can be remotely manipulated to change its size and shape swiftly. The idea, which was reported in ...

(Nanowerk News) Concrete, the most widely used material in the construction industry, has a history dating back to the Roman Empire. Now, engineers at the University of Pittsburgh are reimagining its ...

Scientists have developed a metamaterial whose mechanical properties can be reprogrammed on demand and whose internal structure can be modified by applying a magnetic field. Over the past 20 years, ...

We are surrounded by waves. tiny vibrational waves transport sound to our ears. Light waves stimulate the retinas of our eyes. Electromagnetic waves bring radio, television and endless streaming ...
