Backed by the Microsoft co-founder and spun out from Intellectual Ventures, Seattle-area startup Lumotive is using beam-bending metamaterials in lidar devices for self-driving cars and other ...

Other metamaterials allow light to travel one way but not the opposite—a valuable tool for communication and detection of objects—and to break symmetries of geometry and time.

Metamaterials is one of the newest, most dynamic and exciting areas of science. They enable scientists to change the natural properties of materials, pushing the boundaries of possibility to ...

Materials scientists are getting creative in the quest to quiet our increasingly noisy world. Using metamaterials - man made materials with special properties not found in nature - researchers ...

Postgraduate researchers are encouraged to embrace responsibility and push the boundaries at Exeter’s Centre for Doctoral Training in Metamaterials. If that sounds like you, the latest round of PhD ...

Discover the world of metamaterials and metasurfaces, artificial structures designed to control light and electromagnetic waves in unprecedented ways, revolutionizing optics and sensing.

The proliferation of LEO satellites and the dramatic reduction in cost for data are changing the connectivity paradigm.

Metamaterials fuse known substances into entirely new materials with properties that once seemed magical, from invisibility cloaks to perfect lenses — recently, the Kavli Foundation brought ...

Hyperbolic, or indefinite, metamaterials are reviewed. These anisotropic materials may exhibit properties such as strong enhancement of spontaneous emission, diverging density of states, negative ...

Although the team has constructed these intricate metamaterials, their functionality in a real-life setting has still "not yet been demonstrated," Valev concedes.
