The study of meta-materials is a booming area of modern science aiming at creation of novel properties and functionalities via designing resonances of the meta-materials constituent elements (artificial atoms). Magnonics is a young field of research and technology emerging at the interfaces between the study of spin dynamics, on one hand, and a number of other fields of nanoscale science and technology, on the other. The objective of the MAGNONICS project is to bring together several European research teams with a broad range of fabrication, characterization, and theory expertise in order to realize practically a new class of meta-materials - magnonic meta-materials http://www.magnonics.org/ the future
