Scientists from China and Singapore have developed a new printing technique for multiscale optical metamaterials that could ...

Could invisibility cloaks become a reality? New research brings this science fiction concept a step closer, with a breakthrough software package that simulates how waves interact with complex ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 9: Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure. The emergence of multifunctional metamaterials has revolutionized various domains of science ...

Metamaterials are carefully engineered materials that possess desirable properties and can be used to manipulate ...

Scientists have invented intelligent metamaterials that can learn, remember, change shapes, and move on their own without ...

Acoustic metamaterials are a fast-evolving family of materials which manipulate sound waves in ever more advanced ways. Now, a team led by Changqing Xu at Nanjing Normal University in China has ...

Scientists have unveiled a new observational technique that's sensitive to the dynamics of the intrinsic quantum jiggles of materials, or phonons. (Nanowerk News) A research team including members ...

Schematic diagram of the coordinate transformation process in cylinder structure. (A), (D), (C), and (F) Cartesian coordinates. (B) and (E) Curvilinear coordinates. The red lines denote isotherms.

Researchers created chain-like metamaterials with motorised hinges that can learn new shapes, forget old ones, and toggle between multiple forms without any central control.

Although artificially created metamaterials probably won't reach large-scale commercialization for 10 years or so, some are already appearing in niche applications like electronics, communications, ...

This image is a simulation of a kind of acoustic wave called a Rayleigh-Bloch wave. The stripes of light and dark areas represent the “peaks" and “troughs" of the waves and are shaped by their ...
