Department of Physics Professor Presents Pioneering Research Into Metamaterials
Sir John Pendry, a Professor of Theoretical Solid-State Physics at the Department of Physics has presented his pioneering research into metamaterials as part of Imperial's annual Frontiers in Natural Sciences: Dean's Annual Lecture.
Sir Pendry said, “As far as light and electromagnetism are concerned, there is a shortage of the sort of materials that we may want to have. There are many things in optics which we know in principle we should be able to do, but we cannot do because there are no materials available.”
