Partnership for Advanced Functional Metamaterials (Meta-PREM)Throughout human history, new materials have played a pivotal role in the development of technologies and the progress of whole civilizations. Terms such as Stone Age, Bronze Age, or Silicon Valley underscore the defining societal impact that the discovery or harnessing of a new material can foment. The beginning of the 21st century has coincided with the invention of an entirely new materials platform - metamaterials - engineered multi-phase composite materials containing inclusions that often have tailored shapes, sizes, mutual arrangements and orientations. Such materials exhibit unparalleled responses to many types of wave excitations, including electromagnetic, acoustic and thermal.Many applications of metamaterials systems and devices, e.g. next-generation electronics operating at optical frequencies, require both passive and active (amplifying or nonlinear) components. The development of metamaterials over the past decade has focused primarily on passive metamaterials. One of the two research foci of the Partnership is aimed at the development of active metamaterials: tunable, nonlinear, and amplifying. The other intriguing class of metamaterials, whose development has been pioneered by the team members, is metamaterials with hyperbolic dispersion. In one direction, the response of these unique materials to electromagnetic waves is similar to that of metals. However, in an orthogonal direction, it is similar to that of dielectrics. The studies of unparalleled classical and quantum properties of such materials (including spontaneous emission, energy transfer, and many others) comprise the second research focus of Meta-PREM. The research will be performed in a highly collaborative manner by the partners with complementary expertise and capabilities. Meta-PREM integrates the research and education efforts of a historically black university, Norfolk State University, and three research-intensive institutions, Michigan State University, Purdue University and Cornell University. The project's education and outreach activities flow from identified complementary strengths of the partners. This synergy allows for a range of relevant programs that will benefit a diverse body of students in the full spectrum of the education continuum, especially at the graduate level. Norfolk State University's Ph.D. program in materials science and engineering is only five years old, being the only STEM doctoral program on campus. By integrating NSU's students and faculty with those at well-established graduate programs, Meta-PREM will accelerate the young doctoral program towards maturation, effectively increasing the capacity to produce a more diverse group of highly trained materials science professionals.

在整个人类历史上，高级功能材料的合作伙伴关系（Meta-Prem），新材料在技术的发展和整个文明的进步中发挥了关键作用。诸如石器时代，青铜时代或硅谷等术语强调了发现或利用新材料的定义社会影响可能会引起人们的影响。 21世纪初与全新的材料平台的发明（超材料）工程的多相复合材料，其中包含通常具有量身定制形状，尺寸，相互布置和方向的夹杂物。这种材料对许多类型的波动激发表现出无与伦比的响应，包括电磁，声学和热量。下一代电子设备以光频率运行，需要被动和主动（放大或非线性）组件。在过去的十年中，超材料的发展主要集中在被动地材料上。合作伙伴关系的两个研究重点之一是旨在开发主动材料：可调，非线性和放大。 其他有趣的超材料类别是由团队成员开创的，是具有双曲线分散体的超材料。在一个方向上，这些独特的材料对电磁波的响应与金属的响应相似。但是，在正交方向上，它类似于电介质。对此类材料的无与伦比的经典和量子特性的研究（包括自发发射，能量转移等）构成了Meta-Prem的第二个研究重点。这项研究将由合作伙伴以互补的专业知识和能力进行高度协作的方式进行。 Meta-Prem整合了历史悠久的黑人大学，诺福克州立大学和三个研究密集型机构，密歇根州立大学，普渡大学和康奈尔大学的研究和教育工作。 该项目的教育和外展活动来自确定的合作伙伴的互补优势。这种协同作用允许一系列相关计划，这些计划将使教育连续性的各种学生有益于各种各样的学生，尤其是在研究生层面。诺福克州立大学博士材料科学与工程学计划只有五年的历史，是校园唯一的STEM博士课程。通过将NSU的学生和教职员工与成熟的研究生课程相结合，Meta-Prem将加速年轻的博士学位课程，以实现成熟，从而有效地提高了生产更多样化的训练有素的材料科学专业人士的能力。
