“Back in the day before cable and satellite, TVs had metal antennas. Those antennas were designed for radio waves that were centimeters to meters in length. We are working to create nanoscale antennas that would be able to respond to visible light with wavelengths of 400 to 700 nanometers, or infrared light, where wavelengths are on the order of a micron.”

you can make Terahertz radiation through yoga - the microtubules are metamaterials with the tubulin inside. No synchotron needed anymore!!
I'm a materials scientist so I need to say that the effect that electromagnetic radiation has on ALL materials is affected by their structure. Typically this is the crystal structure (well define, periodic arrangement of atoms in a solid) or, for polymers, the chemical structure. Metamaterials just add another layer of complexity on a larger scale (nano or micro scale). We call this mesoscale structure.
@mcrib5794

Merely adding another layer of complexity is a massive downplay imo. With metamaterials you can (likely) get properties of exotic materials with cheaper materials by altering their geometry. Plus this video hasn't touched mechanical metamaterials, auxetics for example.

Nope, 'same kind of nano structure' would imply these metamaterials are also blue. You are correct however, in that they are using nanostructures in order to make themselves appear blue, so kudos for that observation! But technically, they are entirely different nanostructures. I'm also not sure butterfly nanostructures have any use beyond just making themselves blue. I've never looked into it.

Iridescent metallic insect shells (like a jewel beetle or some house flys) are a great example of structure rather than chemical makeup creating the appearance and color of a surface. Also, about lenses using structure rather than lens shape: Canon actually sells lenses that use microscopic diffraction engravings in some elements to make big telephotos much lighter and smaller. Look up Canon DO (diffractive optics) lenses.
Julian is a very intelligent and kind person. He always wears glasses, which gives him a studious appearance. It's great to see someone who is dedicated to learning and being their best self.

Butterfly wings also fall into the category of meta materials. Their color is due to the nano structure scale. So in the future we have yet to see the ultimate development of miniature telescopes, as the meta material becomes the function of multiple lenses with nano structure scales, similar to butterfly wings emerging from worms. The butterfly effect across meta space is faster than the speed of light, breaking through many higher meta dimensions and nano structure scale.

They don't seem to link the original article, but I think it should be safe to make a simple assumption here: probably the produced THz radiation wasn't just the usual incoherent radiation you can get from all kinds of sources. Synchrotrons can be tuned to produce from UVs up to gamma rays, not just X-rays. Moreover, also X-ray tubes produce X-rays, but the properties and intensity of the two beams are veeeery different.

Can you test if you can alter the surface of everyday rubber-coated wire to reflect electromagnetic waves? or at least hypothesize a theory?? thanks ;)
A fun thing to think about is many of what we consider meta materials could be naturally occurring throughout the universe. If the conditions for synthesizing such a material in a lab on Earth is natural on another planet, the resulting material would likely be abundant there, as natural as can be!

You say the process at @3:06 gave off terra Herz radiation but the synchrotron gives off X-rays. The complete opposite side of the electromagnetic spectrum. While it is still cool ( usefully applications in security and such) it will never be replacing a synchrotron.

Bluejays beat us to metamaterials by quite a bit... They don't actually have any blue pigment in them, instead, it's the microstructures that trap other wavelengths of light, and only let blue out. Almost all animals that have blue on them actually work the same way, with very few exceptions. There is one particular butterfly... or moth... sorry, I don't remember which, that has genuinely blue spots. The Blue Morpho also relies on microstructures for its coloration.
Well they aren't "Meta", and they don't go against the properties of nature (probability means the laws of physics as we know them). This video is implying that these materials have only recently been discovered. This is false as butteries and peacocks for example have micro structures on them that destructively interfere with some wave lengths and constructively interfere with other ones. This is called structural colouration for anyone interested. It is not a new thing,it has been around for thousands of years, biology beat us to it. Ever wondered why Integrated circuits are so colorful while exposed, well know you know. But interesting never the less, never heard of a diode magnet before.

Technically meta materials allow us to change the "properties of nature" so I guess it's kinda right but misleading. "Properties of nature" means just that, properties of things found in nature, e.g. color of gold. Not strictly laws of physics. Also, in the video it is said they made a video about these materials a while ago, so no, this video is not implying these materials have recently been discovered. This is just an update on where we are with these materials, and he says that quite clearly.
