This status paper is very exciting and provides new important information about
the present status and prospects for positron energy production and storage,
especially for space applications. It is recommended reading for both researchers
in the area and aerospace scientists. In addition, others interested in national
policy for both future energy and future space exploration should consider this
status paper to gain farther insight into positron energy and propulsion.

Metamaterials for Aerospace Applications: Energy Harvesting, Sub-
Wavelength Imaging, Optical-Device Miniaturization, and Non-Reciprocal
Optical Devices
(b)(6)
Metamaterials are "materials beyond materials" with unusual electromagnetic or
optical properties. The report byl(b)(6) ~escribes several possibilities
how such materials can be used for advanced aerospace applications. As
examples, he often uses his own experiments.l(b)(6) lis one of the research
leaders in the field ofmetamaterials and has built up a highly credible reputation
in this area. Although the research area ofmetamaterials is still rather new and
mostly confined to proofof-principle academic research at present, it will
undoubtedly revolutionize photonics and lead to commercial applications that are
interesting for the aerospace industry.
