CULT 1 Optical Metamaterials: More than the sum of their parts!

We are excited to announce Calvin Hooper as the speaker for the first CUPS Undergraduate Led Talk of the summer!
Optical Metamaterials: More than the sum of their parts!
Throughout most of human history we’ve created new materials in a pretty similar way – finding that when we mix two materials, we get a different property. Metamaterials turn this idea on its head: rather than starting with existing materials we start with the physical understanding of a property, and design structures to realise this property. This talk will be a brief overview of the field, along with some prominent examples of designing materials with a specific property in mind.
If you’re lucky there may even be a picture of a flying doughnut

CUPS Undergraduate Led Talks is a talk series hosted by CUPS during the long vacation. Speakers include undergraduate Cambridge students interested in giving a talk to a physics audience. The topics generally fall outside the standard curriculum, as many deal with the speaker's summer projects. Due to COVID-19 they have occured entirely online this year, which allows us to publish them here.

CUPS - Cambridge University Physics Society
We are a student-run university society organising scientific talks and other events for our members and public. CUPS is all about the physics you don't do in your degree.
