Abstract

In the last 20 years, the research of metamaterials, especially in the fields of electromagnetism, acoustics, thermology, and mechanics, has achieved great progress. Varieties of creative microstructures were developed to achieve unusual properties that cannot be found in nature, such as negative refractive index, invisibility from detectors with electromagnetic waves or acoustic waves as the information medium, etc. These impressive products have a broad range of potential applications in both national defense and civil use. In recent ...
