A team is using the binding power of magnets to design self-assembling systems that potentially can be created in nanoscale form

Simple, low-power sensor is ideal for 'internet of things' and smart home devices

Radio waves reveal person's presence in a room, even beyond the sensor's line of sight

"This is a new version of a printing method we have developed and used in the past. We used it to create a thermomechanical metamaterial that may enable applications not possible before."

Researchers aim to make such cloaks more practical

Researchers at Rice University, in Europe, and in Singapore discover band gaps in spider silk

Berkeley Lab, UC Berkeley researchers lead study that uses trapped atoms in an artificial crystal of light

“We will control how the atoms cross the metamaterial, in which direction they will go.”

Creation could be useful in sensing, communication, and imaging applications

A metamaterial absorber capable of highly sensitive infrared detection enhances the spectroscopy of tiny molecular details
