5 Metamaterials That Make Matter Invisible, Silent or Blindingly Fast
Step aside, nanotechnology, the buzzword for today’s material scientist is “metamaterials.” These substances are tiny engineered structures from existing composite that are used to manipulate light, sound and radiowaves. Researchers are just starting to find applications for this research and may soon come out with products that can cloak military vehicles, make stronger microscopes and faster computer chips. Here are 5 examples of metamaterials in action.
