(Nanowerk News) Plasmonic metamaterials are man-made substances whose structure can be manipulated to influence the way they interact with light. As such, metamaterials offer an attractive platform ...

Researchers have engineered a new metamaterial that uses its unique geometric surface features to "perfectly" absorb all of the electric and magnetic properties of a microwave. Resonators couple ...

(Nanowerk News) Over the last few years, researchers have demonstrated that light can serve as a spin-current generator, creating currents of angular momentum, in optical nanostructures known as ...

A designer metamaterial has shown it can engineer emitted "blackbody" radiation with an efficiency beyond the natural limits imposed by the material’s temperature, a team of researchers report in ...

A recent study in Scientific Reports presented a graphene-based metamaterial as a solar absorber. The structure consisted of three layers: aluminum (Al) as the resonator, titanium nitride (TiN) as the ...

Researchers have developed the first fully-integrated, non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) gas sensor enabled by specially engineered synthetic materials known as metamaterials. The sensor has no moving ...

A recent article published in APL Materials defines metamaterials as artificial structures composed of subwavelength, atomic, or molecular-level components, possessing unique properties (such as ...
