Researchers develop new one-step process for creating self-assembled metamaterials
E-Mail IMAGE: While studying a thin-film material called strontium stannate (SrSnO3), University of Minnesota researchers noticed the surprising formation of checkerboard patterns at the nano scale similar to structures fabricated in costly,... view more Credit: Credit: Jalan Group, University of Minnesota A team led by University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers has discovered a groundbreaking one-step process for creating materials with unique properties, called metamaterials. Their results show the realistic possibility of designing similar self-assembled structures with th...
