The Coming Age of Metamaterials: Engineering the Impossible at the Atomic Scale

by Lavinia Rquefort-Mwezi ...

Light bends the wrong way. Sound passes through a wall designed to stop it. A flat chip, thinner than a fingernail, focuses light better than a curved glass lens that took decades to grind. None of this is science fiction. It is the present reality of metamaterials, and it is only the beginning.In The Coming Age of Metamaterials, science writer Lavinia Rquefort-Mwezi takes readers on a journey ... Read more
