Description
Xuanqing Fan and five colleagues present a 2024 materials paper on a frequency filter you tune by stretching it. The device is a kirigami sheet, cut so it deforms in patterned ways, studded with copper square rings that resonate with incoming electromagnetic waves. Wireless systems crave such tunable surfaces, but electronic versions are costly and stiff.
Pulling the sheet in two directions reshapes and respaces the rings, shifting the balance of capacitance and inductance and sliding the resonant frequency and bandwidth continuously. Simulations and measurements agreed, and the response stayed steady across wave polarizations and arrival angles. The authors map how each structural choice affects the tuning, aiming the cheap, flexible design at adaptive antennas and shelters.
