Relief may be on the horizon for anyone who has ever jumped around a room like a jack-in-the-box to get motion-sensing lights to turn back on. A new motion sensor based on metamaterials is s... Read more
A team led by USC Viterbi researchers developed 3-D printed acoustic metamaterials that can be switched on and off remotely using a magnetic field Researchers have been pushing the capabilit... Read more
Conductive filaments and 3-D printers allow quick construction of electromagnetic metamaterials Researchers at Duke University have 3-D printed potent electromagnetic metamaterials, using an... Read more
In the not-too-distant future, it may be possible to 3-D print virtually anything. Consider standard printers, which “synthesize” thousands of colors by using only three color ca... Read more
A super-material that bends, shapes and focuses sound waves that pass through it has been invented by scientists. The creation pushes the boundaries of metamaterials – a new class of finely-... Read more
A team of University of Colorado Boulder engineers has developed a scalable manufactured metamaterial — an engineered material with extraordinary properties not found in nature — to act as a... Read more
First demonstration of a metal-free metamaterial that can absorb electromagnetic energy Electrical engineers at Duke University have created the world’s first electromagnetic metamater... Read more
When a material is made, you typically cannot change whether that material is hard or soft. But a group of University of Michigan researchers have developed a new way to design a “meta... Read more
How to design materials with reprogrammable shape and function Metamaterials — materials whose function is determined by structure, not composition — have been designed to bend light and sou... Read more
Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have developed a method that enables them to manipulate light to follow any predetermined path along a surface. The innovation has now been d... Read more
Engineers at the University of California San Diego have fabricated the first semiconductor-free, optically-controlled microelectronic device. Using metamaterials, engineers were able to bui... Read more
An electric current will not only heat a hybrid metamaterial, but will also trigger it to change state and fade into the background like a chameleon in what may be the proof-of-concept of th... Read more
An international research team has used a “thermal metamaterial” to control the emission of radiation at high temperatures, an advance that could bring devices able to efficientl... Read more
