Self-actuating surfaces for tunable microwave metamaterials (Ref: 4403)

该项目将探索混合电磁超材料阵列和自致动材料的可能性，可能会引入折纸或kirigami技术，以创建一系列新的可重构结构，并将其应用于电信和其他领域，并期望发现许多新的物理学来推动未来的研究。该项目将把电磁物理、机械工程、先进材料和制造等要素结合起来。

This project will explore the possibilities of hybridising electromagnetic metamaterial arrays and self-actuating materials, possibly bringing in origami or kirigami techniqhes, to create a new family of reconfigurable structures, with a view to applications in telecommunications and beyond, and the expectation of the discovery of much new physics to drive future research.The project will pull together elements of electromagnetic physics, mechanical engineering, and advanced materials and manufacturing.
