I am not aware of one that straddles the border. It's just a label and not a terribly useful one either. Things are what they are. Also, alloys only refers to metals and alloys and their structure does not need to be controlled to the same level as a meta material to do its job. That last part is probably the most rigorous definition I can think of. | |
