Smart material prototype challenges Newton’s laws of motion
For more than 10 years, Guoliang Huang, the Huber and Helen Croft Chair in Mechanical and Aerospace 糖心Vlog传媒, has been investigating the unconventional properties of 鈥渕etamaterials鈥 鈥 an artificial material that exhibits properties not commonly found in nature as defined by Newton鈥檚 laws of motion 鈥 in his long-term pursuit of designing an ideal metamaterial. Huang鈥檚 goal is to help control the 鈥渆lastic鈥 energy waves traveling through larger structures 鈥 such as an aircraft 鈥 without light and small 鈥渕etastructures.鈥

New Cloaking Material Could Protect Buildings, Soldiers
Stealth technology, the idea of reducing the ability of the enemy to detect an object, has driven advances in military research for decades. Today, aircraft, naval ships and submarines, missiles and satellites are often covered with radar-absorbent material, such as paint, to hide or cloak them from radar, sonar, infrared and other detection methods. A cloak is a coating material that makes an object indistinguishable from its surroundings or undetectable by external field measurements.
