Eimateriaaliset
Eimateriaaliset refers to a concept in the field of material science and engineering, specifically within the realm of metamaterials. Metamaterials are artificially structured materials designed to have properties not found in nature, such as negative refractive index or perfect lensing. Eimateriaaliset, in this context, can be translated to "meta-materials" in English. These materials are engineered to exhibit extraordinary properties by carefully arranging their constituent elements, often on a scale much smaller than the wavelength of the phenomena they are designed to influence.
The term "eimateriaaliset" is derived from the Greek words "meta" meaning "beyond" or "after," and "hyle" meaning
The design and fabrication of eimateriaaliset require advanced techniques such as nanofabrication, lithography, and 3D printing.
