This paper reviews the topic of microstructured polymer fibres in the fields in which these
have been utilised: microstructured optical fibres, terahertz waveguides, and fibre‐drawn …

Highlights•Nanofabrication is capable of patterning devices at the same length-scales as
cellular components (ie 10 s of nanometers).•Nanoscale devices can be used to measure …

Using conventional materials, the resolution of focusing and imaging devices is limited by
diffraction to about half the wavelength of light, as high spatial frequencies do not propagate …

We discuss the topics of metamaterials—electromagnetic composites offering simultaneous
control of electric and magnetic fields through structuring on a fine scale compared with the …

Mammalian brains consist of 10s of millions to 100s of billions of neurons operating at
millisecond time scales, of which current recording techniques only capture a tiny fraction …

We present a novel method for producing drawn metamaterials containing slotted metallic
cylinder resonators, possessing strong magnetic resonances in the terahertz range. The …

Based on the experimental data of the magnetic hysteresis and magneto-optical images of
the magnetic structure during magnetization process, in this work, we have carried out …

Fibre drawing is used to fabricate indefinite media based on wire array metamaterials.
Fibres containing arrays of indium wires embedded in polymer are drawn using an optical …

Nanoparticle reinforced metals recently emerge as a new class of materials to empower the
functionality of metallic materials. There is a remarkable success in self-incorporation of …

We present a novel method for producing metamaterials with a terahertz magnetic response
via fiber drawing, which can be inexpensively scaled up to mass production. We draw a …
