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" ...

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 ...

Human “bodyoids” could reduce animal testing, improve drug development, and alleviate organ shortages. The new general AI agent from China had some system crashes and server overload—but it ...

An international research team has developed mechanical metamaterials with a high elastic energy density. Highly twisted rods that deform helically provide these metamaterials with a high ...

A new software that simulates complex wave scattering for metamaterial design could bring the invisibility cloak a step closer to reality. Developed by researchers at Macquarie University, the ...

The creation of photonic materials, circuitry, devices and probes that act on the nanoscale is yielding new opportunities for controlling light in the sub-wavelength regime. The result could be ...

Run Silent, Run Deep, a World War II naval drama starring Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster, reportedly inspires Star Trek screenwriter Paul Schneider to mull a space-exploration equivalent to a ...

This study demonstrated the first full-parameter omnidirectional invisibility cloak in free space, which can conceal a large-scale object for arbitrary incident illumination.
