Short description
Modern metamaterials is relatively new, less than two years old and evolving rapidly. It has captured the interest of researchers because theoretically predicted, exciting fundamental electromagnetic phenomena can now be realized experimentally and novel devices are feasible. This is the critical resource sought by readers who need fundamental knowledge and applications provided by pre-eminent experts in this field.
