TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrated ultrathin, broadband, and highly efficient metamaterial-based terahertz polarization converters that are capable of rotating a linear polarization state into its orthogonal one.

TL;DR: The most famous effect was predicted in 1948 by Casimir, who found that there is an attractive force in quantum fields as mentioned in this paper, which is associated with topological constraints on quantum fields and is known as the Casimir effect.

TL;DR: In this article, a review summarizes recent progress in this field with emphasis on theoretical and computational developments and their applications to materials including molecular structures, Dirac-like systems, optical metamaterials, composites with nontrivial boundary conditions, and biological matter.

TL;DR: A thermal Casimir force between two metal surfaces caused by thermal, rather than quantum, fluctuations in the electromagnetic field was identified experimentally between a flat and a spherical gold plate as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A broadband, polarization independent, wide-angle absorber based on a metallic metasurface architecture, which accomplishes greater than 90% absorptance in the visible and near-infrared range of the solar spectrum, and exhibits low absorptivity at mid- and far-inf infrared wavelengths is demonstrated.
