The new metamaterial designed by Kong and his team at Rice can be controlled remotely to rapidly transform its size and shape (Photos and video by Jorge Vidal/Rice University). Researchers led by Rice ...

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 ...

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 ...

The need for, and benefits of, reconfigurable antennas. How metamaterials combined with novel assembly techniques were combined to create a physically reconfigurable antenna. The performance ...

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 ...
