His device consists of an array of split-ring-resonators -- a checkerboard of flexible metamaterial panels that can bend and tilt. By rotating the panels, his team can control the electromagnetic ...

Under development for nearly two decades following pioneering work by Sir John Pendry and colleagues at Imperial College, London, metamaterial devices typically feature small but precisely repeating ...

The metamaterial device the team built consists of a cylindrical metal outer shell that looks a lot like a car tire rim. It has a rubber segmented membrane at its center with a weight to keep it taut.

Scientists report engineering a solid-state metamaterial device capable of controlling a terahertz beam 30 times faster than a conventional optical device. The device could prove critical to new ...

The Duke team has been busy refining this aspect of their metamaterial clocking device–first shown in 2006–to create a wholly new product that is far more effective. To work as a cloak ...

But the concept is intriguing, and it's possible that someone more adept at creative thinking can find ways of modifying the concept to create a useful device. A metamaterial is generally defined ...

The device, which was fabricated using a plasmomechanical metamaterial, operates through a unique mechanism that couples its optical and mechanical resonances, enabling it to oscillate ...

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn’t rely on exotic particles or massive particle ...

Figure 1: Experimental design of the active THz metamaterial device. All experiments were performed at normal incidence, with the THz magnetic field lying completely in-plane. The polarization of ...

The metamaterial devices were specifically created by scientists at UC Berkeley to Dr Kruk's specifications, and needed the expertise of UC Berkeley in producing such lilliputian structures and ...

From an analysis of this evolution, it can be understood how the device with the metamaterial mirror can deliver a broadband enhancement in the light absorption across this wavelength range.

When the metamaterial was removed, the tone was suddenly reverberating through the room. According to the researchers, the device was able to block 94 percent of the sound. "The moment we first ...
