“These materials are made up of a grid of separate units that can be individually tuned,” said Willie Padilla, professor of electrical and computer engineering at Duke. “As a wave passes through the surface, the metamaterial can control the amplitude and phase at each location in the grid, which allows us to manipulate the wave in a lot of different ways.”
