A team led by University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers has discovered a groundbreaking one-step process for creating materials with unique properties, called metamaterials. Their results show the realistic possibility of designing similar self-assembled structures with the potential of creating built-to-order nanostructures for wide application in electronics and optical devices.
The research was published and featured on the cover of
