metamaterial technologies inc. (mti) is a smart materials and photonics company that is changing the way we use, interact, and benefit from light. it designed a new class of multi-functional materials—also known as metamaterials—with engineered properties that go beyond what is found in nature. mti has created a new patented platform technology, which has been developed using a variety of smart materials that are capable of dramatically changing the way light can be manipulated. these thin-films can either absorb, block or enhance light the company specializes in metamaterials, nanofabrication, theoretical and computational electromagnetics; bridging the gap between the theoretical and the possible. with in-house design, access to world-class nanocomposite researchers, and nanofabrication expertise, mti is able to develop a wide array of metamaterial applications that encompass several industries including aerospace and defense.
