Applications Based on Zero-index Materials: 
Hybrid Skin Cloaks and Coherent Perfect Absorption  
by Zhi Hong Hang
The beauty of Maxwell's Equation relies on the fact that the propagation of an electromagnetic wave within a material is well determined by a certain spatial distribution of permittivity and permeability. By engineering metamaterials, which are artificial resonating subwavelength structures with unprecedented permittivities and permeabilities, the long-held dream to control the flow of light has become possible. In the past ... More to Read
APCTP SECTION

Cosmic surveys of large scale structure have imaged hundreds of millions of galaxies and mapped the 3D positions of over a million. Surveys starting over the next few years will increase these numbers more than tenfold. Simultaneously, developments in extracting information on dark energy, dark matter, neutrinos, and gravity on cosmic scales have advanced greatly, with many important works from Asian institutions. .  More to Read
