Metasurfaces Enable Switch from Edge Detection to IR Imaging
MELBOURNE, Australia, June 13, 2024 — To create a compact, flexible sensor for agriculture and other industries, an international engineering team combined the tunability of phase change materials with reconfigurable image-processing metasurfaces. The resulting device provides image processing functionality that can be dynamically reconfigured by a temperature change of just a few degrees. According to the team, comprising researchers from City University of New York (CUNY), the University of Melbourne, the Royal Melbourne
