METAMATERIAL LENSES. "In general it is not possible for a lens to produce an image that contains details that are finer than the wave-length of the light being focused. However, superlenses made of “negative index” materials can overcome this diffraction limit." https://lnkd.in/ehwDYhR View in LinkedIn

PHONICS. "Just as photonic band gaps were followed by phononic band gaps, recent progress in making superlenses for electromagnetic waves has prompted efforts to make superlenses for acoustic waves." https://lnkd.in/ehwDYhR View in LinkedIn

SUPERLENSES. "Ultrasound, negative refraction and superlenses. One of the hottest topics in optics over the past five years has been the possibility of making “superlenses” with materials that have a negative refractive index." https://lnkd.in/ehwDYhR View in LinkedIn

FORBIDDEN GAPS. "Similar to photonic crystals, the hyperbolic dispersion law of extraordinary photons is modulated by forbidden gaps, frequency ranges where there are no photons, when the photon wavelength is close to the spatial period of the metamaterial.

ACOUSTIC INSULATORS. "The existence of structures with complete phononic band gaps has obvious applications. For instance, a phononic crystal will reflect incoming sound waves with frequencies within the gap and can therefore be used as an acoustic isolator." https://lnkd.in/ehwDYhR View in LinkedIn

HYPERCRYSTALS. "The magnetic field induces a periodic pattern of self-assembled stripes caused by phase separation into nanoparticle-rich and nanoparticle-poor phases, and the stripe periodicity is much smaller than the free-space wavelength in the hyperbolic frequency range, showing that the self-assembled optical medium is a photonic hypercrystal." https://lnkd.in/ev_ZGjS View in LinkedIn

SOUND CONTROL. "Phononic crystals will provide new components that offer the same level of control over sound that mirrors and lenses provide over light." https://lnkd.in/ehwDYhR View in LinkedIn

BANDGAPS. "Like a photonic crystal, the hypercrystals also have photonic bandgaps due to the fabrication process. https://lnkd.in/ev_ZGjS View in LinkedIn

TRPA1 IS AN EXTRAORDINARY MOLECULE, playing important roles in snakes, bats, mosquitoes, and man, from sensing heat, cold, various mustards and capsaicin, involved in metabolic control, pain, and neuropsychiatric disorders. Biomolecules are more often known for exquisite specificity and fidelity, but this clever construct has an enormous range of nuanced functions. What a beautiful molecule. View in LinkedIn

NEW MATERIAL. "Hypercrystals can be designed to exhibit a negative refractive index, without the negative magnetic permeability that is usually essential for such materials. In this way, it may be possible to use photonic hypercrystals for optical imaging, since a planar slab of such material can function as a Veselago lens." https://lnkd.in/e7BT7Dh View in LinkedIn
