Aims & Scope

Metamaterials can be generally defined as a class of "artificial" media, possessing extraordinary properties that cannot be found in Nature. The subject of metamaterials has drawn considerable attention and funding from both the physics and engineering communities worldwide and has evolved as a research subject in its own right. These enabling technologies will have a large impact on traditional fields of applications but also play a significant role in stimulating emerging fields. The major objective of this journal is to provide an open access platform for multidisciplinary researchers to exchange information on metamaterials with a focus on high impact engineering applications. It also aims to stimulate new fields of metamaterials research beyond traditional topics and foster new innovation and transfer of knowledge with added value.
