abstract = {Metamaterials are artificially engineered devices that go beyond the properties of conventional
materials in nature. Metamaterials allow for the creation of negative refractive indexes;
light trapping with epsilon-near-zero compounds; bandgap selection; superconductivity phenomena;
non-Hermitian responses; and more generally, manipulation of the propagation of electromagnetic
and acoustic waves. In the past, low computational resources and the lack of proper manufacturing
techniques have limited attention towards 1-D and 2-D metamaterials. However, the true potential of
metamaterials is ultimately reached in 3-D configurations, when the degrees of freedom associated
with the propagating direction are fully exploited in design. This is expected to lead to a new era in
the field of metamaterials, from which future high-speed and low-latency communication networks
can benefit. Here, a comprehensive overview of the past, present, and future trends related to 3-D
metamaterial devices is presented, focusing on efficient computational methods, innovative designs,
and functional manufacturing techniques.},
