I love this sentence: “They leveraged an old-school colorwork knitting technique called float-jacquard knitting (think Fair Isle sweaters) … to produce two prototype reflectarray devices, a metasurface lens (metalens) and a vortex-beam generating device.”
Knitted metasurfaces! Absolutely wild, straight out of ~2000s speculative fiction.
I would like a Christmas jumper that doubles as a passive radar antenna array.

A prototype reflectarray antenna for low-Earth orbit cut power use by about 95% and showed wide scanning with little signal loss when beams were split. Calibration remains a key challenge.
Antenna array could provide protected tactical satellite communications in low-Earth orbit
Preventing adversaries from interfering with communications is crucial to national security. Tactical satellite communications (SATCOM) focus on securing reliable communications channels against adversaries in contested environments.
