Functional metasurfaces and metadevices. This project aims to develop and use smart metadevices for light control, high-bandwidth wireless communication and security. Unique properties of metamaterials suggest several useful effects not yet used in real-life. Using electromagnetism, mechanics, colloidal chemistry and nanofabrication, this project will design user-friendly tuneable metadevices made of ultra-thin metasurfaces and three-dimensional liquid metamaterials, and demonstrate electromagne ....Functional metasurfaces and metadevices. This project aims to develop and use smart metadevices for light control, high-bandwidth wireless communication and security. Unique properties of metamaterials suggest several useful effects not yet used in real-life. Using electromagnetism, mechanics, colloidal chemistry and nanofabrication, this project will design user-friendly tuneable metadevices made of ultra-thin metasurfaces and three-dimensional liquid metamaterials, and demonstrate electromagnetic wave manipulation in microwave, terahertz and optical frequency ranges. The outcomes are expected to create opportunities for Australian industry to commercialise smart materials.Read moreRead less
