Recent advances in materials research and engineering open up new possibilities.
The EFRI NewLAW topic is inspired in part by the recent emphasis on uncovering classical materials that mimic atomic systems and condensed matter phenomena, such as quantum effects and topological insulators. Notable examples are innovations in metamaterials, artificial materials that allow electromagnetic waves to bend around them.
