Multifunctional metamaterials for energy harvesting and vibration control
Feb 13, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Metamaterials are artificially engineered composite materials derive their properties from internal micro- and nanostructures, rather than the chemical composition found in natural materials. As a result, metamaterial structures enable properties and capabilities, which are generally not possible to create using conventional material discovery or chemical...
