Pendry and colleagues: magnetism from conducting microstructures

What changed

Derived tunable effective permeability from subwavelength nonmagnetic conducting microstructures.

Scientific scope

The record is the exact 1999 IEEE four-author paper. Earlier artificial-dielectric work, wire-array permittivity, Veselago’s negative-parameter theory, later negative-index experiments and perfect-lens proposals remain separate.

Evidence

The linked sources identify this contribution and its scope. WRS has not independently reconstructed the scientific claims. The record is the exact 1999 IEEE four-author paper. Earlier artificial-dielectric work, wire-array permittivity, Veselago’s negative-parameter theory, later negative-index experiments and perfect-lens proposals remain separate.
