Hyperbolic metamaterials (HMMs) are artificially structured composites whose principal permittivity or permeability tensor components possess opposite signs, giving rise to open hyperboloidal ...

Metamaterials--nanoengineered structures designed for precise control and manipulation of electromagnetic waves--have enabled such innovations as invisibility cloaks and super-resolution microscopes.

(Nanowerk News) Hyperbolic metamaterials (HMMs), which have an extremely high anisotropy with a hyperbolic dispersion relation, are rising as an innovative method of manipulating light. HMMs have ...

Hyperbolic metamaterials are artificially made structures that can be formed by depositing alternating thin layers of a conductor such as silver or graphene onto a substrate. One of their special ...

Researchers recently demonstrated an all-electric scheme able to flexibly control the propagation direction of near-field light. Near-field light is invisible light at the subwavelength scale.

(Nanowerk News) A new type of hyperbolic metamaterial has been developed by researchers at King’s College London (KCL) allowing researchers have greater flexibility of manipulating light-matter ...

Researchers are looking the 'hypar' origami for ways to leverage its structural properties. While perhaps not as iconic as the paper crane, the hypar origami with its sweeping opposing arcs and saddle ...
