Metal dielectric microstructures: Tuneable metamaterials to medical devices

该项目旨在展示经济和批量制造的可调谐超材料。可调性受到追捧，但很难实现。这个项目将把超材料从金属行为转换为介电行为，并动态改变超透镜的放大倍数。为此，它将创建一个在高科技制造业中具有广泛应用潜力的微/纳米制造技术平台。它预计将改进多模式神经接口，用于光遗传学研究和可植入的生物医学设备，如人工耳蜗植入物。

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.
