Options for Using Metamaterials for Unidirectional Transmission of EM Radiation Within Radar Wavelengths

  Defense Systems Information Analysis Center (DSIAC) was asked if metamaterials (charged/active or otherwise) could be used to shield a friendly radar from electronic attack while simultaneously allowing that radar to continue to operate in…

3-D Printed Active Metamaterials for Sound and Vibration Control

Researchers have been pushing the capabilities of materials by carefully designing precise structures that exhibit abnormal properties that can control acoustic or optical waves. However, these metamaterials are constructed in fixed geometries, meaning their unique abilities are always fixed. Now, new 3-D printed metamaterial developed by a team led by USC Viterbi researchers can be

Silk Fibers Could Be High-Tech ‘Natural Metamaterials’

New research has demonstrated how the nano-architecture of a silkworm’s fiber causes “Anderson localization of light,” a discovery that could lead to various innovations and a better understanding of light transport and heat transfer. The discovery also could help create synthetic materials and structures that realize the phenomenon, named after Nobel laureate Philip Anderson, whose

Thin Engineered Material Perfectly Redirects and Reflects Sound

Metamaterials researchers at Duke University have demonstrated the design and construction of a thin material that can control the redirection and reflection of sound waves with almost perfect efficiency. While many theoretical approaches to engineer such a device have been proposed, they have struggled to simultaneously control both the transmission and reflection of sound in
