Research and development in metamaterials has grown significantly over the past few years as they are utilized to extend the available range of electromagnetic properties far beyond the limits of known materials.
Originally known as the left-handed material (LHM), possessing negative permittivity and negative permeability simultaneously, metamaterials have now become a much broader concept, including LHM, electric plasma, magnetic plasma, gradient-index (GRIN) materials, and zero index materials to name a few.
Due to the exception properties of metamaterials they have been used in applications such as invisibility cloaks, ground-plane cloaks, electromagnetic concentrators, rotators, polarizers, novel antennas, and optical-illusion devices.
