Researchers in Australia have developed a proof-of-concept prototype device
made with metasurfaces that can control the direction of electromagnetic waves to perform highly advanced sensing functions. It is arbitrarily tunable so that it can direct electromagnetic waves towards any direction or control multiple beams to perform different functions at the same time. It can sense the entire environment surrounding it with unprecedented precision. Future cameras could identify hazardous devices or dangerous chemicals in people’s carry-on baggage when they walk through an airport. Other applications could include smaller and safer sensors for driverless vehicles…read more.
