Arvix – Metamaterial-based model of the Alcubierre warp drive by Igor I. Smolyaninov of the University of Maryland. Alcubierre imagined a small volume of flat spacetime in which a spacecraft sits, ...

The particle magnetization is proportional to the required gx in a given location. Arxiv – Metamaterial-based model of the Alcubierre warp drive (15 pages accepted to Physical Review B) ...

From the computer models, the team used laser-cut cardboard, double-sided tape, and multimaterial 3D printing to construct working prototypes. The result is 3D metamaterial models that fold along ...

and then evaluate the resulting metamaterial's properties. Their approach, like a specialized CAD (computer-aided design) system for metamaterials, allows an engineer to quickly model even very ...

Relaxation model is absent in metamaterial research. Polarization is one of the most important electromagnetic (EM) properties of dielectric materials. The essence of polarization is electron ...

MIT engineers have now found a way to fabricate a metamaterial that is both strong and stretchy. The base material is typically highly rigid and brittle, but it is printed in precise, intricate ...

The number of ways to harvest energy that would otherwise go unused and wasted is extraordinary. To cite a few of the many examples, there’s the heat given off during almost any physical or electronic ...

Hot stuff Artist’s depiction of an inductively-heated metamaterial reactor with catalysts filling its ceramic foam baffle. The reactor is producing carbon monoxide and water using the reverse water ...
