Metamaterial Antennas
Metamaterial antennas are a type of antenna that employs metamaterials to improve the performance of miniaturized (electrically small) antenna systems. Their purpose, like that of…
Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR)
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is a phenomenon in which electrons in a thin metal sheet are excited by light directed at a specific angle of…
Terahertz Metamaterial
Terahertz metamaterials are a type of composite metamaterial that interacts at terahertz (THz) frequencies. In materials research, the terahertz frequency range is typically defined as…
Sonoluminescence
The emission of light from imploding bubbles in a liquid when stimulated by sound is known as sonoluminescence. It is a phenomenon that occurs when…
Triboluminescence
Triboluminescence is a phenomenon that occurs when a material is mechanically separated, ripped, scratched, crushed, or rubbed. The cause of the phenomenon is unknown, but…
Split-ring Resonator
A split-ring resonator (SRR) is a synthetic structure found in metamaterials. It is a type of electromagnetic metamaterial that exhibits unique properties not found in…
Bioengineering an Endocrine Pancreas for Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that destroys the pancreas’ insulin-producing beta cells. The body cannot regulate blood sugar levels properly without insulin, which…
Biology may be driven by previously Undiscovered Intercellular Electricity
There is mounting evidence that electricity is important in biology, not only within individual cells but also between them. Recent research has shown that cells…
Metamaterial Cloaking
The use of metamaterials in an invisibility cloak is known as metamaterial cloaking. This is accomplished by manipulating light’s paths as they pass through a…
Metamaterial Absorber
Metamaterial absorbers are artificial materials that are designed to absorb specific frequencies of electromagnetic radiation such as microwaves, infrared radiation, or even visible light. They…
More Reliable Renewable Energy could Result in Cost Savings
One of the main challenges with renewable energy sources like wind and solar is their intermittent nature, which makes predicting how much energy they will…
