Metaphor and the Anthropocene: Presenting Humans as a Geological Force
Intellectually as well as materially, the Anthropocene is a deeply cultural phenomenon. This includes its communicative form, which is a contested trope-rich narrative, even within the sciences. In...
View ArticleFlexible bi-layer terahertz chiral metamaterials
Thin and flexible bi-layer terahertz chiral metamaterials are experimentally demonstrated in both handednesses at terahertz frequencies. The structures are made of conjugated C8 metallic resonators...
