(Nanowerk Spotlight) Radar technology has reached a point where it can detect the faintest electromagnetic signals, challenging even the most advanced stealth technologies. The evolution of radar ...

(Nanowerk News) Metamaterials are artificially made materials that have certain patterns that change how light and matter interact. As a result, they have properties not found in nature. Researchers ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Cellular structures made from metal alloys could strengthen ...

Although it is made of two thermally expanding materials, star-shaped unit cells of the metamaterial have a mechanical design that promotes negative thermal expansion (NTE) when heat is applied. The ...

Researchers at MIT and elsewhere have found a way to use metamaterials to absorb a wide range of light with extremely high efficiency, which they say could lead to a new generation of solar cells or ...

When it comes to computing, flexibility usually means something to do with software compatibility, or just maybe a bendable screen. But a computer chip that can be extended to over three times its ...
