He should have researched a little more. He doesn't even know that these are called crests and troughs. A wave is what something does, not what something is!! Light is not a wave it is a transverse coaxial circuit - Duke Uni is obviously in the cult of bumping particles. Light also does not travel it sets up a pressure modality in the medium. Hence light is mediated.

Excellent clarity in subject, I loved it... 👍👍🙏🙏

$MMAT (Metamaterials - metamaterial.com/) just joined NASDAQ, so you can now invest in their groundbreaking technologies. Not sure if they have those sheets available, at this moment, but it's in the future, along with some really cool tech (i.e. See-through windshields that are simultaneously 5G antennas, non-invasive glucose monitoring for diabetics, clear de-icing windshields, and, oh yeah... the potential for an invisibility cloak, just to name a few).

Perfect explanation. Great.....

Maybe it should be added here that metamaterials are not necessarily easier to construct (actually they are more complicated) comparing to, for example, glass lens. However, the biggest advantage are these new properties like wavefront shaping, going beyond the limits of ordinary lenses etc. And also, this is just one implementation of metamaterials, another one is related to size reduction of electromagnetic devices. And also, major disadvantage of passive metamaterials is their narrowband behavior. Most often, metamaterial device will work only at single operating frequency due to its resonant nature. There is no practical experiment with so called invisibility cloaks, and if it were, it would work only at one wavelength (in another words, it could make only one color invisible).

and many thanks for such beautiful explanation sir

very nice explanation

What a simple and effective explanation! Thank you!

Great explanation 👍🏻

Wow that very interesting.... I wish i have University like Duke😢

Brilliant !

For an explanation about new lens technologies, you could have closed up that aperture a bit and got Steve in focus. :p

Speed of light waves is slowing down to the same extent per unit of distance traversed through the glass both at the periphery as well as the center of the glass. However, in the case of convex lens inthe central part it is traveling for longer therefore resulting in more slowing than at the periphery where the glass is thinner.

This should have way more many views

such a great way to teach

Nice explanation, but what you are explaining is not metamaterials. You are only describing a very small subset of metamaterials. Perhaps you should rename the title of this video to "optical metamaterial explained."

Do metamaterial optics require glass, or could the modern injection molded optics be used ?

So a meta lens. Where titanium dioxide is use to focus the light. Slowing down the blue light to match up with the red light.

Could you create a lens with magnetic or electrical fields, or without "material", similar to gravitational lensing?

Sir , can you also please explain how can this help the mri imaging ...

sir, i have studied that the wavelength is distance between mean and trough or mean and the crest . please correct me , if i am wrong or wavelength can v defined either way?

Electrogravitics to converge a Scalar wave for directional amplified energy.

Can't we use cone shaped lens or crystal to focus the beeam?

What kind of powerful wave processing, spectroscopy?

What is the atomic structure of the metamaterials used?

metamaterials could also be used to filter various liquids and or radio waves. and if we think about it at the quantum level maybe even be a lens to another dimension. Spooky MetaMaterials!

Thanks. But what is about granular meta materials?

Couldn't you basically use mylar since it flexible. To create convex and covex and u can also fixate it to shapes in an array

Duke University, where Prof. David R. Smith, the pioneer in metamaterials, is working at.

Why can’t we amplify/cancel out gravity waves?

good idea, so difficult for pratical use, the idea has been there over 20 years? how ahout any practical lens on the market?

Their is a company that manufactures this material that’s going to be on the nasdaq soon. Metta materials

Since gravity is a wave, meta-material science will eventually be able to create gravity based propulsion.

seems to me like you could do all sorts of things if your manufacturing wasn't a limitation. think about random radiation pressure gradients sucked up by power antennas embedded in your wall or even clothing, exciting some electrons in a capacitor circuit or maybe tiny solid state battery. embedded layers of transformations of input fields generated by embedded emitters could act like ASIC's, FPGA might be more complicated and you might have to have a computer interface at some point, but still. can you imagine, you might one day buy a wall segment that acts as an extension to your gpu. some limitations apply, as architectures don't exist for this sort of thing. What would you call 3d solid state computing/thermal-photo-acoustical-electronics? Maybe multispectronics?

I actually have some ideas about how to control the formation. it involves some of those ai controlled negative heat lasers though. think quick-set 3d printing on the atomic level. It would also have to be massively parallelized, And I have no idea how much energy would be involved yet.

Why would convergence be explained only by slowing light at by different amounts. That doesn't explain change direction, it only creates situation where one would expect the light travelling through the thinnest point to continue to travel straight and simply arrive at its destination sooner.

Is'nt diffraction a big problem in this materials?

Can this hand held special lens allow people to see UP at shieded invisible ufos about to abduct them, in time so they can run away? I read that this happened before when someone saw one over a city building and piece of special glass was held up, so as he saw it leave the area.

Good explanation of the principle. But I'm not sure, i thought the metamaterial is a material that has redefined properties due to artificially redesinged structure. The key element is an altered structure while he didn't make it clear. Composites he is talking about here are not necessary metamaterials. I think the lens is a metamaterial, in some way it's one of the first metamaterials.

@bjornf

I'm inclined to partially agree. The best explanation for me was that meta means (outside or beyond) in greek so a metamaterial is in this context a material outside of our natural world. A lense of glass could by that definition be a meta material as it is refined by humans, unless you want to talk about gravitation lensing or light focused in a droplet of water. Now, I also agree with the metamaterial description that you can start using technology and create a lens (or any effect) by creating an almost lego-based material and in some kind of lattice adding whatever building blocks you need. That would often create end products/materials "outside what you'll find in nature", well unless your lattice is filled with only glass that makes up a lens. A fresnel lens could be a meta material, it's a flat version of the typical magnifying glass shows and also draws. I dont know, I've got lots of words I to this day struggle with. Plywood is even a meta material in this matter, a tree grows making directional wood, there's no version like plywood laminated creating a more uniformly strong sheet of wood, but unless you make a composite of more materials then the plywood is still mainly made out of wood and a little glue. I'm not trying to sound smart, it's just that definitions get fuzzy when context becomes too broad... or something. Now I'm thinking of brick walls as meta materals... I need to cut back on all this coffee.

thx

Why not just use a Fresnel lens and create the same effect. Use segments that are smaller than can be defined by the human eye. If you want to get sexy you could make it from aspheric segments. If it has to be flat on both sides then just laminate it. Why use different segmented inducy materials when you can achieve the same with refraction.

That's a Magical Realism story

The meta material that has surfaced is so unique that you will not reproduce it in a long time. When something has to be accurate on a nanoscale you need an alien to show you have to make the item from the start to finish. Most of the elements are on this earth the manufacturing part is the holy grail. I would bet you if I could make the metal I would never show mankind anything since the first thing they would do is weaponize the great achievement and pay you the inventor a dollar like Roosevelt did during WW2. Peace

Is anyone investing in MMAT ( metamaterials inc)? The shares are only 3 dollars right now. So I figured I'd take a chance and get a couple.

so in essence you could manufacture a type of optical camouflage?! i saw some of this that the Chinese were working on about 15 years ago and never kept up with it. So when can i order my first Predator suit?!?!?! META for the future!!!!!!

GODAMN I'm Brazilian and I perfectly understood you, best explanation ever, more please! Currently I'm trying to study by myself the engineering of UFO propelling, magnectic ressonance plus metamaterials to lessen and shorten light speed peak. I overved this when I was 15 yo playing with a CD but teachers never cared, god it was in front of me the whole time! How could I be so dumb XD anyways...please come up with more updated exotic tech explanations....you have my support :D !!! I'd like to know about the engineering of the mini sun unlimited energy core that chinese invented, I want to understand it~! Also I think we can benefit from the magnectic ressonances to heal our cells using cellphones etc daily instead of harming ourselves, tru reverse engineering. It's a hint since I have no funds to do this by myself.

Sorry, but telling me that metamaterials act differently than standard materials doesn't tell me what they are or how they work.

We can do MUCH more with Meta Materials and what was described is arguably the least valuable use of those materials.
