Metamaterials—the term may sound esoteric to the layman. In science and engineering, however, this is an interesting field of research that has developed at a highly dynamic pace, particularly since ...

Researchers designed microfabricated silicon chip patterns that guide vibrations along set paths, enabling energy harvesting ...

Physicists show how patterns can emerge from chaos in turbulent fluids. The turbulent motion of a tumbling river or the outflow from a jet engine is chaotic: that is, it contains no obvious pattern.
