In a cover article in The Journal of Applied Physics, a team of Penn State researchers has designed and computationally tested a type of manmade metamaterial capable for the first time of manipulating ...

“Invisibility cloaks” have been in development for years, but keep hitting a major roadblock — the materials used absorb too much light. New research may have found the trick to get around that, and ...

The field of metamaterials and transformation optics encompasses a rapidly evolving area of physics and engineering, wherein artificially engineered materials are designed to exhibit extraordinary ...

Acoustic metamaterials and phononic crystals represent a transformative frontier in the manipulation of sound. By engineering the microstructure rather than relying solely on chemical composition, ...
