Left-handed metamaterials and negative refraction

该项目将建立并支持澳大利亚第一个研究左手超材料领域的团队，左手超材料是一种人工材料，其中的波以一种独特的、反直觉的方式表现。该项目将促进这一新领域的发展，促进其快速发展，并促进澳大利亚新兴技术的发展。它还将与活跃的理论和实验团体进行密切的国际合作，并为澳大利亚带来重要的专业知识。我们相信，我们最初的纯基础性质的努力以及与海外集团的广泛合作将对澳大利亚该领域和相关新技术的发展产生重大影响，吸引业界的强烈兴趣。

This project will establish and support the first team in Australia working in the field of left-handed metamaterials, artificial materials in which waves behave in a unique and counter-intuitive way. The project will promote this new field, enhance its rapid development, and facilitate emerging novel technologies in Australia. It will also lead to close international collaborations with active theoretical and experimental groups, and bring important expertise to Australia. We believe our initial efforts of purely fundamental nature and extensive collaboration with the overseas groups will have a significant impact on the development of this field and related novel technologies in Australia, attracting strong interest from industry.
