Wikipedia definition (changing…)
2006: In electromagnetism (covering areas like optics and photonics), a meta material (or metamaterial) is an object that gains its (electromagnetic) material properties from its structure rather than inheriting them directly from the materials it is composed of. This term is particularly used when the resulting material has properties not found in naturally-formed substances.
2014: Metamaterials gain their properties not from their composition, but from their exactingly-designed structures. Their precise shape, geometry, size, orientation and arrangement can affect the waves of light or sound in an unconventional manner, creating material properties which are unachievable with conventional materials.

• materialization • mathematization • realization • idealization • synthetization • projection • localization • homogenization • fabrication • parametrization • modularization
- non-unique - wash-out of microsopic structure - several realizations - loss of details - multiple platforms - emergence, paradigm change For example, in EE context...
• electromagnetics vs. circuit theory – Cellular Neural Networks, non- linear circuits – simple rules, complex behavior • Open Systems Interconnection model for the communication system – abstraction layers • Emergence: 1+ 1 > 2 • Reductionism: 1+ 1 < 2
• Inheritance of properties – children vs. parents • Multiple platforms (case: computer) – the essence of a computer is independent of the technology of the electronic circuits Emergence everywhere!
• anisotropy • chirality and optical activity • artificial magnetism • structural colors from photonic band gaps • …. effects determined by the geometry of the small-scale 500 nm

• The original result (the intact RA sphere polarizability) is a faithful limit (for all values of the permittivity components) of the punctured RA sphere – provided that finite intrinsic losses (arbitrarily small) are present • Hence: instead of ”emergence of loss” – ”super-enhancement of loss” From quasistatics towards dynamics…
• How regular is the limit ʘї0 ? • Static polarizability ї Rayleigh scattering • Dynamics: Mie scattering – Mie series obviously more complicated than in the isotropic sphere case… jQ (x) RA
