| Abstract | Nontechnical Abstract This project aims to design a new class of engineered artificial materials, commonly known as metamaterials, that exhibit a high refractive index in ways not possible with naturally occurring substances. Refractive index determines the velocity of light, with a higher index resulting in a lower velocity. A high index helps guide light better and also bends it by a larger angle. This is crucial to get better optical components, such as lenses, which need to bend light to foc |
