Discovery of high-temperature superconductivity (HTSC) in strongly correlated cuprates opened a new chapter in condensed matter physics, breaking existing stereotypes of what is a material base for a good superconductor ("Matthias rules"),…
Hyperbolic metamaterials were originally introduced to overcome the diffraction limit of optical imaging. Soon thereafter it was realized that hyperbolic metamaterials demonstrate a number of novel phenomena resulting from the broadband…
