Metamaterials – artificially made materials with properties that aren’t found in the natural world – are poised to transform daily life. Their unique properties are enhancing products from sporting goods to consumer electronics and beyond.

Specifically, they are helping to make sport and exercise more accessible, inclusive, and safer.
