Experimental Demonstration of a Broadband All-Dielectric Metamaterial Perfect Reflector
Here we present the demonstration of a single-negative all-dielectric metamaterial that possesses peak reflectance over 99% and an average reflectance over 98% across a 200 nm wide bandwidth in the short-wavelength…

Generalized Effective-Medium Theory for Metamaterials
We present an effective-medium model for calculating the frequency-dependent effective permittivity ε(ω) and permeability μ(ω) of metamaterial composites containing spherical particles with arbitrary permittivity and permeability.

Digital Games, Design, and Learning: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (Executive Summary)
We synthesize comparisons of game conditions versus non-game conditions (i.e., media comparisons) as well as comparisons of augmented game designs versus equivalent standard game designs (i.e., value-added comparisons).
