Kite Matter as Metamaterial                                             M16434 Dec 24,2014  
Open-AWE's emerging periodic cellular architectures are intended as optimized combinations of Kite-Matter ("rag and string") capable of variable response to specific excitation conditions of wind and load demand. Kite-Matter is thus formally a Metamaterial, a cutting-edge topic in materials-science (with hundreds of published papers), and subject to the laws of condensed-matter physics-

The term [metamaterial] was coined in 1999 by Rodger M. Walser of the University of Texas at Austin. He defined metamaterials as macroscopic composites having a man-made, three-dimensional, periodic cellular architecture designed to produce an optimized combination, not available in nature, of two or more responses to specific excitation.
