Polaritons are hybrid excitations of matter and photons. In recent years, polaritons in van der
Waals nanomaterials—known as van der Waals polaritons—have shown great promise to …

Recent progress in nanophotonics and material science has inspired a strong interest in
optically-induced material dynamics, opening new research directions in the distinct fields of …

Becoming invisible at will has fascinated humanity for centuries and in the past decade it
has attracted a great deal of attention owing to the advent of metamaterials. However, state …

Intelligence at either the material or metamaterial level is a goal that researchers have been
pursuing. From passive to active, metasurfaces have been developed to be programmable …

Electromagnetic metasurface cloaks provide an alternative paradigm toward rendering
arbitrarily shaped scatterers invisible. Most transformation-optics (TO) cloaks intrinsically …

Predicting physical response of an artificially structured material is of particular interest for
scientific and engineering applications. Here we use deep learning to predict optical …

Acoustic metamaterials can manipulate and control sound waves in ways that are not
possible in conventional materials. Metamaterials with zero, or even negative, refractive …

Thermal metamaterials have exhibited great potential on manipulating, controlling and
processing the flow of heat, and enabled many promising thermal metadevices, including …

The evolution of electronics has largely relied on downscaling to meet the continuous needs
for faster and highly integrated devices. As the channel length is reduced, however, classic …

So far, the environment has been considered as a source of fading, clutter, and blockage,
with detrimental consequences for efficiency and robustness of communication systems …
