A magnetic field manipulation apparatus comprises a metamaterial structure, the metamaterial structure including a multilayer stack of metamaterial layers, each metamaterial layer including a substrate supporting one or more conductive loops. The metamaterial structure may be configured to redirect the magnetic flux around the metamaterial structure, and in some examples concentrated into a gap between two adjacent metamaterial structures. An apparatus may further include a magnetic field source such as an electromagnet.
