Perfect absorption based on a ceramic anapole metamaterial.

Metamaterials, from concept to application level, is currently a high-trending topic. Due to the strict requirements of the simultaneous reasonable structural design and stability of materials, the construction of a high-performance metamaterial for extreme environments is still difficult. Here, combining metamaterial design with materials optimization, we propose a completely different strategy and synthesize a type of monomeric ceramic meta-atom to construct metamaterials.
