Scientists Use 4D to Reach , Metamaterial Breakthrough.
'Popular Mechanics' reports that the fourth dimension
is helping scientists to reach some sci-fi level
breakthroughs in the development of metamaterials.
Using advanced mathematics and light, researchers
are able to develop "synthetic dimensions" beyond
the three dimensions we normally perceive. .
A team of scientists at the University of Missouri College
of Engineering developed a metamaterial capable of
controlling energy waves on the surface of solid materials.
A team of scientists at the University of Missouri College
of Engineering developed a metamaterial capable of
controlling energy waves on the surface of solid materials.
'Popular Mechanics' reports that these waves can
determine the way vibrations travel along a surface.
The team's findings were published
last week in the journal 'Science Advances.'.
Conventional materials are
limited to only three dimensions
with an X, Y and Z axis, Guoliang Huang, MU professor and study co-author, via 'Popular Mechanics'.
But now we are building materials in the
synthetic dimension, or 4D, which allows us
to manipulate the energy wave path to go
exactly where we want it to go as it travels
from one corner of a material to another, Guoliang Huang, MU professor and study co-author, via 'Popular Mechanics'.
The new metamaterial represents a breakthrough in
the field of mathematics known as topology, which
focuses on shapes and their arrangement in space.
The new paper describes
"topological pumping," which , "allows waves to navigate a sample
undisturbed by disorders and defects.".
'Popular Mechanics' reports that the breakthrough
could have implications for everything from quantum
computing to developing earthquake-proof structures. .
