The dream of invisibility cloaks dates back to ancient times but recent advances in nanotechnology have made this a reality through the use of metamaterials. Metamaterials are artificially-made materials that have optical properties not found in nature. This field is still in its infancy and significant challenges remain and need to be solved before practical applications can be realised. This project builds on Australia’s strategic investment in nanofabrication capabilities to fabricate functional metamaterials and uncover the underlying physical phenomena. It will revolutionise the field of nanophotonics for a variety of novel applications ranging from defence, renewable energy, imaging, sensing to optical communications.

隐形斗篷的梦想可以追溯到古代，但最近纳米技术的进步通过使用超材料使其成为现实。超材料是人工制造的材料，具有自然界中没有的光学特性。这一领域仍处于起步阶段，仍然存在重大挑战，需要在实现实际应用之前加以解决。该项目建立在澳大利亚对纳米制造能力的战略投资的基础上，以制造功能性超材料并揭示潜在的物理现象。它将彻底改变纳米光子学领域的各种新应用，从国防，可再生能源，成像，传感到光通信。
