Physicists name and codify new field in nanotechnology: ‘electron quantum metamaterials’

Nanowerk  November 5, 2018
According to an international team of researchers (Singapore, USA – UC Riverside) synthesizing new materials by twisting and stacking atomically thin layers, is still in the “alchemy” stage. To bring it all under one roof, they have proposed this field of research be called “electron quantum metamaterials”. They highlight the potential of engineering synthetic periodic arrays with feature sizes below the wavelength of an electron and delve deeper and lay out the fundamental physics that may explain much of the research in electron quantum metamaterials…read more.
