Abstract
The fields of metamaterials and plasmonics are both set to benefit from the use of superconducting materials.
Superconductors - a fascinating family of materials discovered about a century ago that exhibit an electrical resistivity that vanishes at a sufficiently low temperature - are now creating exciting opportunities in photonics. In particular, their use in low-loss plasmonic waveguides and metamaterals, artificial structures patterned on a sub-wavelength scale that have customizable electromagnetic properties, is an exciting burgeoning research avenue.
