SPIE 2015 Gold Medal Award recipient Nader Engheta of the University of Pennsylvania will discuss some of the technologies made possible by controlling photons and optical waves. “Materials control waves, and they can tailor, manipulate, redirect, and scatter electromagnetic waves and photons at will,” Engheta said. “Recent developments in condensed matter physics, nanoscience, and nanotechnology have made it possible to tailor materials with unusual parameters and extreme characteristics, providing fertile ground for innovation and discovery.”
