Microstructured and Nanostructured Metamaterials

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Metamaterials is an emerging field offering great opportunities for discovering new physical phenomena and exploiting them in groundbreaking applications. They are artificially structured media with unusual electromagnetic properties, such as a negative-index-of-refraction. The scientific excitement surrounding metamaterials is captured by asking the crucial question: What would be possible if we were able to synthesize materials with user-defined electromagnetic properties? We are proposing a world-class program to address this question and develop the next generation of metamaterials for applications including sub-diffraction imaging, multifunctional antennas & microwave devices for telecommunications, wireless power transfer, medical imaging & therapeutics, defence, light harnessing & processing.
