Q&A with Anatoliy Pinchuk: Developing new weapons against cancer
University of Colorado at Colorado Springs professor Anatoliy Pinchuk is trying to find ways to diagnose cancer earlier and treat cancerous tumors without surgery or radiation treatments through research he and others are working on for the University of Colorado BioFrontiers Institute.A native...
Scientists Create First Free-Standing 3D Cloak
Researchers in the US have, for the first time, cloaked a three-dimensional object standing in free space, bringing the much-talked-about invisibility cloak one step closer to reality.
Scientists Create Free-Standing 3-D Cloak Invisible to Microwaves
The invisibility cloak has taken yet another step toward realization.
Plasmonic cloak makes objects invisible, but only in the microwave region of the spectrum
Okay, so we're not up to USS Pegasus levels yet, but for the first time researchers have been able to cloak a three dimensional object. Don't start planning your first trip to the Hogwarts library restricted section just yet though, the breakthrough is only in the microwave region of the...
British team builds model showing metamaterials could be used to create gecko toe like adhesion
(PhysOrg.com) -- Scientists have long been enamored by the gecko’s gravity defying ability to cling to walls and to let go at will, allowing it to walk around sideways, as have Spiderman enthusiasts. Thus far, unfortunately, efforts to duplicate such feats have gone unmet. Now however, researchers from the University...

A transparent 90 degrees polarization rotator by combining chirality and electromagnetic wave tunneling
Mehmet Mutlu and Ekmel Ozbay A three-layer chiral metamaterial is constructed by using two layers of four mutually rotated resonators and a subwavelength mesh sandwiched symmetrically between these layers. The resulting structure is an ultrathin, transparent, and polarization angle independent 90 degrees polarization rotator. ... [Appl. Phys....
Efficient second harmonic generation in a metamaterial with two resonant modes coupled through two varactor diodes
Toshihiro Nakanishi, Yasuhiro Tamayama, and Masao Kitano We present an effective method to generate second harmonic (SH) waves using nonlinear metamaterial composed of coupled split ring resonators (CSRRs) with varactor (variable capacitance) diodes. The CSRR structure has two resonant modes: a symmetric mode that resonates at the fundamental frequency...
A technique for physical realization of anisotropic density matrices with application to acoustic beam shifters
Wael Akl and Amr Baz Physical realization of acoustic metamaterials is so far at its initial stages, with attempts to use periodic patterns of engineered material structures to achieve various material properties that would yield the required wave propagation patterns. Phononic crystals are by far the most advanced tech...

Publication year: 2012Source: Physica B: Condensed Matter, Available online 3 February 2012G. Kichin, T. Weiss, H. Gao, J. Henzie, T. Odom, ...Periodic nanostructures are one of the main building blocks in modern nanooptics. They are used for constructing photonic crystals and metamaterials and provide optical properties that can be changed by adjusting the geometrical parameters...

Registration is open: EUPROMETA 20th school, Louvain-la-Neuve

Friday, 03 February 2012 10:51

One-week school on Introduction to metamaterials
Time: May 7-11, 2012
Place: Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium
Organizer: Prof. Christophe Craeye

The course will provide a global understanding of the functionalities of metamaterials starting from first principles. Recent developments will also be highlighted. The technical program will span fields in periodic media, effective medium modeling, nano-plasmonics, graphene metamaterials and cloaking. The course will introduce the current state of the art from a perspective of fundamental principles and possible applications, including challenges and theoretical limitations.
