Abstract
An introduction to transport theory and transport properties followed by the discovery that metamaterial is in fact artificial phase transition. Singularity behaviour of the transport properties at the critical point of phase transition is given. Then, there is the use of the transport properties to explore new forms of metamaterials. Metamaterials as artificial phase transition is a breakthrough to a new world of artificial materials.
