Dynamic terahertz wavefront control using stretchable single-walled carbon nanotube-based metasurfaces

Researchers have developed a stretchable metasurface using single-walled carbon nanotubes that allows for dynamic control of terahertz waves. This innovation overcomes the limitations of traditional static metasurfaces, which are prone to cracking under mechanical stress.
Why it matters
This technology could significantly advance wireless communication, security imaging, and nondestructive sensing by enabling tunable components that function under deformation.
