ATOMIC, namely “Advanced Transformation Optical Materials for bio-Imaging and light- Concentration”, is a project aiming at the development of novel compounds and fabrication techniques enabling a new class of artificial materials with unprecedented capabilities for a broad spectrum of possible applications including: i) ultra-resolution imaging (Planar Metamaterial Hyperlenses - PMHs); ii) enhanced energy harvesting (Light Concentrators – LCs); iii) efficient and integrated optical quantum sources; iv) ultra-fast tunable nanophotonic devices. The project has been sponsored by the European commission under the framework of the Marie-Curie fellowship. Up to date, there are 13 peer reviewed publication and 27 contributions to international conferences linked to ATOMIC.
