Summary:
Metamaterials, among the most intricate and skillfully designed configurations of matter ever devised by science, could be improved with the help of Legos. Famous for their use in cloaking devices, metamaterials are artificial structures that play unnatural tricks with light and sound and other vibrations. Scientists have investigated the use of such materials for soundproofing rooms or protecting buildings from the shaking of earthquakes, among other things. But to do their jobs, meta-materials must be properly designed and fabricated using precisely manufactured components. Testing ideas for new metamaterials is therefore time-consuming and expensive.
"Better Metamaterials through Toys" is from the April 16, 2016 issue of Science News.
