Popis: By carefully structuring and patterning a material, it is possible to introduce emergent properties that would otherwise not exist. These metamaterials have allowed the development of a wide variety of new optical properties. Here, Matsubara et al present a magnetic metamaterial, where spin-currents can be directed by tuning the polarization of the incident light.
