A new “metamaterial” with properties not found in nature could help create ultra-sensitive sensors and high-speed electronics, researchers have claimed. The team at King’s College London engineered a nanoscale device with the material, made of liquid metal eutectic gallium indium and gold nanorods separated by an air gap less than a nanometre across. When a voltage is applied, a stream of “hot electrons” with very high kinetic energy flows between the two sides. The...
