Prof Din-ping Tsai Winning 2025 Top Ten Advances in Metamaterials in China (Basic Research)

Prof Din-ping Tsai (Chair Professor of EE), in collaboration with Prof Yuri Kivshar from the Australian National University, has been awarded the 2025 Top Ten Advances in Metamaterials in China (Basic Research) for their recent work published in Physical Review Letters and titled “From Local to Nonlocal High-𝑄 Plasmonic Metasurfaces”. They found a generalized law ‘Inverse square root law’, that builds up the connection between high-loss localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) and low-loss surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs), enabling a significant reduction in dissipation loss and paving the way for novel applications.

The award was presented at the 4th China Metamaterials Conference (CMMC 2025). The conference is dedicated to advancing fundamental research, as well as research in design, manufacturing, and device applications. It serves as a significant platform that connects academia and industry, fostering academic dialogue, technical collaboration, and the advancement of technology.
