TL;DR: A linear metamaterial comprises a transmission line, having a linear dimension, and is loaded with capacitors, and shunted with an inductor such that for an electromagnetic wave having a wavelength greater than the linear dimension and traveling along the axis of the transmission line is simultaneously negative as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: A linear metamaterial comprises a transmission line, having a linear dimension, and is loaded with capacitors, and shunted with an inductor such that for an electromagnetic wave, having a wavelength greater than the linear dimension and traveling along the axis of the transmission line, the effective permeability and permittivity of the metamaterial are simultaneously negative. Applications for the metameterial are also disclosed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a design methodology is presented for utilizing electromagnetic bandgap metamaterials, also known as artificial magnetic conductors, to realize ultra-thin absorbers, and the geometrical structure and corresponding resistance of this lossy frequency-selective surface is optimized by using a genetic algorithm.
Abstract: A design methodology is presented for utilizing electromagnetic bandgap metamaterials, also known as artificial magnetic conductors, to realize ultra-thin absorbers. One approach that has recently been proposed is to place a resistive sheet in close proximity to a frequency-selective surface acting as an artificial magnetic conductor. However, we demonstrate in this paper that incorporating the loss directly into the frequency selective-surface can eliminate the additional resistive sheet, thereby further reducing the overall thickness of the absorber. The geometrical structure and corresponding resistance of this lossy frequency-selective surface is optimized by using a genetic algorithm to achieve the thinnest possible absorber. Two examples of genetically engineered electromagnetic bandgap metamaterial absorbers are presented and discussed. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 38: 61–64, 2003

TL;DR: In this article, the first reflection measurements of a composite double negative (DNG) metamaterial, also known as a left-handed material (LHM), have been reported, and very high transmission values of the metammaterial are observed within a frequency range for which both effective permeability and permittivity are expected to be negative.
Abstract: We report free space transmission and the first reflection measurements of a composite double negative (DNG) metamaterial, also known as a left-handed material (LHM). The metamaterial composes of the split-ring-resonators and discontinuous thin wires. Very high transmission values of the metamaterial are observed within a frequency range for which both effective permeability and permittivity are expected to be negative.
