This document provides an overview of metamaterials. It defines metamaterials as artificially engineered materials that have properties not found in nature, derived from their precise structures rather than chemical composition. Metamaterials can have negative values of permittivity, permeability, and refractive index. Applications include metamaterial antennas, cloaking devices, superlenses, perfect absorbers of light, and using metamaterials to enhance solar cells by tuning their response and enabling wide-angle light collection.
