Researchers from IMDEA Materials Institute, in collaboration with China's Nanjing and Huazhong Universities, have developed a ...

The number of ways to harvest energy that would otherwise go unused and wasted is extraordinary. To cite a few of the many examples, there’s the heat given off during almost any physical or electronic ...

Integrating metamaterials into radiofrequency antennas improves image sharpness and enables faster data acquisition using existing MRI scanners ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Radar technology has reached a point where it can detect the faintest electromagnetic signals, challenging even the most advanced stealth technologies. The evolution of radar ...

Cutting patterns into elastic materials allows you to unfold those materials into new shapes, and researchers have now demonstrated the ability to ...

Researchers from Tel Aviv University and Los Alamos National Laboratory have developed a novel mechanical metamaterial that remembers the order of actions performed on it, much like a computer ...

Engineers at MIT have developed a material with a "double network" structure that makes it both stretchy and strong. Capable of stretching up to four times its default size without fully breaking, the ...

A 3D-printed piezoelectric metamaterial uses topology-driven charge transport to locate underwater sound sources from a single compact transducer, replacing bulky hydrophone arrays.

Fig. 1 The dielectric response models for conventional dielectric materials and for metamaterials. For conventional dielectric materials, there are three types of polarization models: Drude model for ...

Common push puppet toys in the shapes of animals and popular figures can move or collapse with the push of a button at the bottom of the toys' base. Now, a team of engineers has created a new class of ...
