Knitted ‘blanket’ of sophisticated radio-frequency antennas
A team from the School of Engineering and Applied Science at Columbia University have used their expertise in metasurfaces – ultra-thin optical components that can control the propagation of light – and a low-cost, highly scalable flat-knitting platform to create radio-frequency communications antennas that are easy to carry and deploy.
