Printed Metamaterial

Caption

It takes about 20 minutes to 3-D print one metamaterial unit cell using the Electrifi filament and a relatively low-cost 3-D printer. By combining a series of these cells, each tailored to interact with an electromagnetic wave in a certain way, researchers can create a structure that can powerfully manipulate microwave radiation.
