This project aims to demonstrate tuneable metamaterials fabricated economically and in volume. Tuneability is sought after and difficult to realise. This project will switch a metamaterial from metallic to dielectric behaviour, and dynamically vary the magnification of a hyperlens. To do this, it will create a micro/nanofabrication technology platform with potential widespread uses in high technology manufacturing. It expects to improve multi-modal neural interfaces for optogenetic research and implantable biomedical devices such as cochlear implants.

这个项目的目的是证明可调的超材料制造经济和数量。但这是一种追求，也是一种难以实现的追求。该项目将把超材料从金属行为切换到介电行为，并动态地改变超透镜的放大率。为了做到这一点，它将创建一个微/纳米纤维技术平台，在高科技制造业中具有潜在的广泛用途。它有望改善用于光遗传学研究和植入式生物医学设备（如耳蜗植入物）的多模态神经接口。
