Broadband giant-refractive-index material based on mesoscopic space-filling curves

The refractive index of natural materials only covers a limited range. Here, Chang et al. use the principle of space-filling curves to construct a mesoscopic crystal with a refractive index greater than 1000 at GHz frequencies. The concept is inherently broadband and scalable.
