context_page_description: Günter Nimtz is a German physicist, working at the 2nd Physics Institute at the University of Cologne in Germany. He has investigated narrow-gap semiconductors and liquid crystals and was engaged in several interdisciplinary studies on the effect of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation in biological systems. His international reputation mainly results from experiments that he claims show that particles may travel faster than the speed of light when undergoing quantum tunneling.
context_section_description: In 1993 Günter Nimtz and Achim Enders invented a novel absorber for electromagnetic anechoic chambers.
  It is based on a 10 nanometer -thick metal film placed on an incombustible pyramidal carrier (United States  Patent:  5,710,564 and other countries). At the E. Merck Company / Darmstadt Nimtz designed an apparatus for the production of ceramic aerosols (patented and applied, 1992).
