When I visited the birthplace of the Nobel Prize, I realized why South Korea hasn’t won one while Japan has many. Our research output isn’t lacking, but ultimately, it’s about networks.” An engineer ...

Upon visiting the birthplace of the Nobel Prize, I realized why South Korea cannot receive Nobel Prizes in basic science ...

Neurophos co-founder Andrew Traverso works on an optics experiment in the lab. (Neurophos Photo) A semi-stealthy startup called Neurophos says it’s raised $7 million in seed funding to support the ...

The development of new so-called metamaterials could lead to dramatic advances in military technology, particularly the ability to hide from sensors—even the human eye. Metamaterials, engineered ...

It seems like the stuff of science fiction movies – a cloaking device to make objects invisible, a super lens that can see sharp details far below the wavelength of light. Those are the glamour ...

Metamaterials – artificially made materials with properties that aren’t found in the natural world – are poised to transform daily life. Their unique properties are enhancing products from sporting ...

Metamaterials—artificial media with tailored subwavelength structures—have now encompassed a broad range of novel properties that are unavailable in nature. This field of research has stretched across ...

The ancient arts of origami, the art of paper-folding, and kirigami, the art of paper-cutting, have gained popularity in recent years among researchers building mechanical metamaterials. Folding and ...
