A new approach has allowed researchers at Aalto University to design a kind of metamaterial that has so far been beyond the reach of existing technologies. Unlike natural materials, metamaterials and ...

After decades of physics-based theorizing, researchers have succeeded in creating a novel optical metamaterial using conventional materials. Its enhanced electromagnetic effect may make true one-way ...

Glass science has evolved into a multidisciplinary field that interrogates the unique structural, chemical, and optical properties of glass materials. Owing to their inherent disorder and ...

Researchers have discovered how to make an optical metamaterial that would underpin a variety of new technologies. A new approach has allowed researchers at Aalto University to create a kind of ...
