Engineers at Carnegie Mellon University have invented a graphene field-effect transistor metasurface (Gr-FET) that can control infrared light in new ways.
The device is made of gold pixels and graphene, allowing control of each pixel individually without interference.
The technology has potential applications in cybersecurity, healthcare, and other domains.
Lead engineer Sheng Shen anticipates the technology could be used in real life within the next five to ten years.
