Tunable Smart Surfaces Cover Visible Spectrum and Beyond
MANCHESTER, England, April 9, 2021 — Work from the University of Manchester outlines applications for smart surface technology that covers the entire electromagnetic spectrum, including the visible light region. Applications for the new optical devices range from next-generation display devices to dynamic thermal blankets for satellites, as well as multispectral adaptive camouflage. The tenability of these devices comes from electro-intercalation, a process that in this case involves the interposing of lithium ions between
