Its struts and braces are made of glassy carbon and are less than 1 µm long and 200 nm in diameter. They are smaller than comparable metamaterials by a factor of 5.

Beowulf is a timeless classic; it is one of the most popular works in Old English literature. It is essentially an epic poem, meaning that the text dictates the events of a story, particularly an adventure, but is phrased to sound like a poem. The text was produced sometime between 975 and 1025 AD, but the exact date remains unknown.
