Silver Nanocubes and Metamaterials May Revolutionize Solar Cells

Researchers at the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University in North Carolina have discovered that microscopic metallic cubes may allow metamaterials, human-made materials that are not found in nature, to absorb light, leading to cost-effective and efficient large-area absorbers for sensors or solar cells. Metamaterials are constructed with the ability to control the properties [...]

Mini Black Hole for Microwave Energy Created by Chinese Scientists Could Have Green Uses

Two researchers from the State Key Laboratory of Millimeter Waves at Southeast University from Nanjing, China, have discovered and prototyped a device that acts like a black hole for electromagnetic waves in the microwave spectrum. It consists of 60 concentric rings of metamaterials, a class or ordered composites that can distort light and other waves.
