Metamaterials applications will represent a multi-billion dollar market within the next decade with product advances in radar and lidar for autonomous vehicles, telecommunications antenna, 6G networks, coatings, vibration damping, wireless charging, noise prevention and more.
Metamaterials are artificially engineered structures with exceptional material properties (acoustic, electrical, magnetic, optical, etc.). They comprise arrays of resonators that manipulate electromagnetic waves or sound in ways not normally found in nature. Possessing customized dielectric properties and tunable responses they allow for excellent flexibility in a range of applications, their use enabling the manipulation of fields and waves at a subwavelength scale. Key applications include:
- telecommunications.
- acoustics.
- sound insulation.
- sensors.
- radar imaging.
- optics (terahertz and infrared).
- coatings & films.
- lidar systems for self-driving cars.
- imaging and sensing.
- power transmission.
