Metasurfaces

Metasurfaces are ultra-thin, engineered materials made up of tiny, precisely designed structures that can control electromagnetic waves such as light, sound, or radio waves. Think of them as advanced 'wave-shapers' that can bend, focus, or redirect waves with high precision, often surpassing what conventional materials can do. By manipulating wave properties at a small scale, metasurfaces enable innovations like improved lenses, holograms, and antennas, opening new possibilities in imaging, communication, and sensing technologies—all in a lightweight, compact form.
