METAMATERIALS

Summary

The UK is facing challenges in commercializing its leading research in metamaterials due to global competition and a lack of support for translational research and manufacturing capabilities. The approach involves developing advanced metamaterials for applications in future network technologies (e.g., 6G), energy security, net-zero initiatives (e.g., more efficient solar panels), and healthcare. The status is ongoing research and development with significant future potential, though currently facing hurdles in scaling up and commercialization.
