From page 71...
... Optical metamaterials, for example, have enabled control over both electric and magnetic fields of light, so that permittivities and permeabilities can be precisely tuned throughout positive, negative, and near-zero values. Through careful design of subwavelength "meta-atoms," optical metamaterials have enabled negative refraction, optical lensing below the diffraction limit of light, and ­ nvisibility i cloaking.
From page 72...
... By constructing nano­lattices of a wide variety of constituents -- from ceramics to metals, semi­ onductors, and c glasses -- her research enables new applications in thermo­ echanics and affects m such disparate fields as ultralightweight batteries and biomedical devices.
