Metamaterials, derived from the Greek word meta- (meaning “beyond”), are designed to manipulate electromagnetic, acoustic, mechanical, and RF waves in ways conventional materials cannot. By structuring metals, polymers, and other standard materials in precise, repeating patterns at microscopic scales, these smart materials can block, absorb, bend, or enhance waves, unlocking groundbreaking applications across industries.
In this report ematys presents the key principles and unique properties of metamaterials and their potential to open new opportunities for the industry.
