Metasurfaces are thin-films composed of individual elements that have initially been developed to overcome the obstacles that metamaterials are confronted with. An example of a metasurface, which can ...

Examples of this are cases of iridescence in nature (like butterfly wings) and eye color, where the perceived colors are the result of environmental light interacting with these structures rather ...

Metamaterials are ordered composite materials with electronic, optical, and magnetic properties distinct from those of the component ¿building blocks'. Their unusual properties can often be derived by ...

Scientists from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) and Harvard University have experimentally demonstrated that it is ...

Overall behavior of composite materials and metamaterials. The fundamentals of homogenization ... and periodic approaches with examples from particulate, whisker, platelet, and fiber-reinforced ...

Until now, designing complex metamaterials with specific mechanical properties required large and costly experimental and simulation datasets. The method enables ...

The integration of flexible magnets in metamaterials allows for reprogrammable structures, offering vast potential in robotics and biomedical engineering.
