This article discusses a new simulation tool developed by Macquarie University researchers to model how waves—such as sound, water, or light—interact with complex particles. This software, called TMATSOLVER, uses advanced techniques to compute how particles scatter waves, even in configurations that were previously too complex to simulate. This breakthrough will enable rapid design and validation of metamaterials, which are used to control waves for various applications, including super-lenses, invisibility cloaks, and wave absorption technologies.
