Metamaterials that mimic the order in matters have opened an exciting gateway to reach unprecedented physical properties and functionality unattainable from naturally existing materials. The "atoms" ...

Sir John Pendry’s lecture showed how engineered materials make sci-fi real, from invisibility cloaks to microscopes revealing ...

Fields like metamaterials and 'flat' two-dimensional systems based on atomically thin materials are expanding the boundaries of nanophotonics.

What are metamaterials and what can they do? The prefix meta (a Greek word meaning ‘beyond’) indicates that the characteristics of the material are beyond what we see in nature. Metamaterials are a ...

The field of metamaterials is an emerging discipline in the early 21st century, attracting significant attention in fundamental science and ...

The conversion of CO2 into e-fuels by light offers a sustainable solution to close the carbon cycle. Researchers at the ...

Nanostructured metamaterials have shown a lot of promise in what they can do in the lab, but often have fatal stress ...

Owing to the wave nature of light there are many ways that such different waves can interact with each other, but also with materials. Everyone knows about reflecting light with a mirror, which is ...

Now, carefully arranged arrays of atoms have brought these possibilities a step closer, achieving negative refraction without the need for artificially manufactured metamaterials. Share: Facebook ...

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 long ...

Researchers developed a new optimized printing approach that could enable super-resolution 3D direct laser writing (DLW) of microlenses, photonics crystals, micro-optical devices, metamaterials and ...
