Acronym: METASMART 

Title: New generation of smart metasurfaces based on additive manufacturing for strategic applications in telecommunications and biomedicine 

Duration: with a duration of 25 months, METASMART started on the 1st of September 2022 and will conclude on the 30th of September 2024. 

Abstract: METASMART aims at developing metasurfaces with additive manufacturing (3D and 4D printing) that provide specific solutions in the fields of biomedicine and telecommunications. Specifically, these devices will enable new non-invasive techniques for the destruction (mechanical ablation) of tumor tissues with acoustic metasurfaces and will improve and optimize wireless data communications in different frequency bands with reconfigurable electromagnetic metasurfaces capable of manipulating the radiated wavefronts.
