Paulina Góra, Przemysław Łopato
Abstract
The realm of sustainable technologies and metamaterials represents a vibrant field of inquiry, and, upon closer examination, a fascinating correlation emerges. Metamaterials, being artificially engineered substances, exhibit diverse characteristics, depending on their specific composition. Remarkably, they hold immense potential in various sustainability-driven applications, such as energy harvesting, purification, and noise control. For instance, a straightforward approach involves the implementation of electromagnetic metamaterial absorbers in energy harvesting systems. As the scope of environmental concerns continues to expand, this proposed solution demonstrates its universal applicability, addressing a growing number of environmental challenges.
