Some of these disciplines are optics, physics, electromagnetic theory (including computational methods) microfabrication, microwaves, nanofabrication, nanotechnology, and nanochemistry.

Most of the contributors are associated with Metamorphose VI AISBL, a non-profit, European organization that focuses on artificial electromagnetic materials and metamaterials.

Devices based on electromagnetic metamaterials continue to expand understanding of principles and modeling begun in the first volume.

The applications for metamaterials are shown to be wide-ranging, encompassing electronics, telecommunications, sensing, medical instrumentation, and data storage.

The material in this book is obtained from highly regarded sources, such as many scientific, peer reviewed, journal articles.
