Generalized definition: Metamaterial
Diamondoid metameterials form the necessary basis for the speculative advanced applications of AP technology level III. These highly complex applications will only become possible through the smart combination of the set of newly available materials with novel properties.
Depending on the APM nanofactory design (vacuum handling) diamondoid metamaterials can be organized in microcomponents or be monolithic.
A short note on low level diamondoid metamaterials can be found on the page describing diamondoid materials.
Todays definition of metamaterials is a bit different but this term still if fitting best here.

List of new materials / base technologies
The set of here presented meta-materials seems less speculative and more incomplete than the list of applications on the products page. It is sorted by design/programming effort which is rather subjective and subject to debate.
low effort
- simple standard macro diamondoid structural meta materials
- molecular filters
- macroscopic super-bearings (one can only see a speed gradient)
- anisotropic material properties (e.g. scissoring mechanisms material)
- data storage material and the like
medium effort
- artificial muscles with higher power densities than todays combustion engines
- absolutely silent (macro motionless) pumps a "pumping material" with no movable parts which are visible to the naked eye.
- cells for the direct conversion from mechanical to chemical energy and vice versa (chemomechanical converters).
- super-fast shearing valves
- material structuring into microcomponents for recycling and recomposition
- structures borrowed from origami techniques
- tensegrity structures.
high effort
- "elastic diamond" (made possible through the implementation as a semi active metamaterial)
- maximizing emulated toughness ("beefy" that is much volume occupying dissipation elements are needed - how far can be gone with active high power cooling ?)
- materials with choosable / adjustable stress-strain diagram (emulated elastoplasticity)
- actively self cleaning surfaces (no stupid lotus effect meant here) (macroscopic shell cleaning)
- self repairing materials and self repairing macroscopic machine parts - no decay through weather or root growth.
- combinations of several metamaterial properties that don't get too well together
- .... and many more
