Special Session Topic: Metamaterial Technology and Applications

Metamaterials are man-made materials designed with unique properties and structures that do not naturally occur in the environment. Their exceptional characteristics arise from their design rather than their chemical composition. These unique properties enable metamaterials to have diverse applications across various fields. Some key areas of application include:
1. Optics and Imaging Technology: Metamaterials, with their negative refractive index, enable the creation of superlenses that can significantly improve the resolution of microscopic imaging.
2. Stealth Technology: Metamaterials play a crucial role in stealth technology research, including advancements in radar invisibility using electromagnetic metamaterials and the development of acoustic stealth technologies.
3. Energy Collection and Transmission: These materials show great promise in energy harvesting and wireless energy transmission, offering improved energy conversion efficiency.
4. Acoustic Components: In the field of acoustics, metamaterials are used for noise control, high-efficiency acoustic filters, and the development of acoustic lenses.
The research and development of metamaterials are progressing rapidly. As manufacturing techniques and theoretical models advance, their potential applications are expanding into even more areas. Through the "Metamaterials Technology and Applications" special session, we aim to facilitate the exchange of research findings and insights among experts from academia, industry, and research sectors.
