Self-assembled metamaterial: Rationally-designed synthesis of a self-assembled, tunable perovskite metamaterial is demonstrated having a "picnic blanket" pattern of two different crystallographic phases with sharply different dielectric properties. The rational design rests on a mathematical framework for predicting martensitic microstructures based on the crystallographic theory of martensite. Contributors: Bharat Jalan, Richard D. James
