Scientists presents a one-step laser synthesis method for fabricating wideband microwave absorption metamaterial

Scientists from Chinese Academy of Sciences Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, National Physical Laboratory (U.K.), The University of Manchester (U.K.) and National University of Singapore have developed a new approach, published in International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, to fabricate a specifically designed wideband microwave absorption metamaterial with well-controlled electrical and magnetic characteristics on a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate using ultraviolet (UV) laser irradiation.
