• Resumen

  • The article discusses advances in developing metamaterials which are composed of tiny arrays of microscopic-sized elements, including metal rings or rods that can deflect electromagnetic radiation as of December 2013. Characteristics of metamaterials are discussed including how it transmits electromagnetic radiation and its implications for communication and manufacturing industries. It highlights a metamaterials study by a team of researchers led by David Smith of Duke University.
