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) is a phenomenon in which electrons in a thin metal sheet are excited by light directed at a specific angle of…

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…

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 is a phenomenon that occurs when a material is mechanically separated, ripped, scratched, crushed, or rubbed. The cause of the phenomenon is unknown, but…

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…

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…

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…
