Metamaterials are rationally designed macroscopic structures engineered to respond to external excitations in a tailorable and unconventional fashion. This allows them to achieve properties that are ...

Cornell researchers are proposing a new way to modulate both the absorptive and the refractive qualities of metamaterials in real time, and their findings open intriguing new opportunities to control, ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — When you press the dimpled circles on a fountain drink lid, they become either convex or concave. Materials or structures that have two stable states demonstrate a concept ...

A coating that can hide objects in plain sight, or an implant that behaves exactly like bone tissue: These extraordinary objects are already made from 'metamaterials'. Researchers have now developed ...

A metamaterial is any material that was engineered so that a property not found in naturally occurring materials could be exploited. Designed right, metamaterials can affect sound waves, ...

Lumotive and Neurophos are tackling different problems in AI ...

If invisibility cloaks and other gee-whiz apps are ever to move from science fiction to science fact, we’ll need to know more about how these weird metamaterials actually work. Michigan Tech ...

AZoM talks to Professor Hanqing Jiang about his research relating to the characterization of metamaterials based on the properties of origami and kirigami. My name is Hanqing Jiang, a professor of ...

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 a ...

Given a 3D piece of origami, can you flatten it without damaging it? Just by looking at the design, the answer is hard to predict, because each and every fold in the design has to be compatible with ...
