Scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be achieved using atomic arrays -- without the need for artificially manufactured metamaterials. Scientists have long sought to control light ...

Introduction You might have heard the saying “not everything is as it seems.” Something faraway might look great, but when you take a closer look it might not turn out to be as you thought it would be ...

The research team led by Masakazu Ohara, graduate student of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Toyohashi University of Technology (student in the Leading Program doctoral program); ...

What are metamaterials and what can they do? The prefix meta (a Greek word meaning ‘beyond’) indicates that the characteristics of the material are beyond what we see in nature. Metamaterials are a ...

And while such cameras may be thwarted by transparent or shiny objects, scientists at Carnegie Mellon University have developed a work-around. Depth-sensing cameras function by shining infrared laser ...
