• Once a Performance Barrier, This Material Quirk Could Help Strengthen Our Telecommunication Connections

    August 20, 2018

    Researchers who study and manipulate the behavior of materials at the atomic level have discovered a way to make a thin material that enhances the flow of microwave energy. The advance, which could improve telecommunications, sheds new light on structural traits, generally viewed as static and a hindrance, that, when made to be dynamic, are actually key to the material’s special ability.
