Abstract

Flexible and tunable devices have, for decades, been the subject of many research areas, including, integrated systems, flexible electronics and photonics, which are calling for advanced properties of materials. Metasurfaces with designable optical properties have now been intensively studied for flexible photonic devices. Enabled by microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and microfluidic technologies, reconfigurable metasurfaces base on mechanical actuations offer new approaches for flexible and tunable devices. In this view, we introduce metasurfaces based on MEMS actuations, droplets arrays, flexible substrates and microfluidic systems together with their applications on flexible and tunable devices.

  • RIS can manipulate the radio propagation environment on demand by intelligently coordinating the amplitude and phase shifts of incident electromagnetic waves through a large number of low-cost, quasi-passive reflecting elements.

    “By intelligently coordinating the amplitude and phase shifts of incident EM waves through a large number of low-cost, quasi-passive reflecting elements, RIS can manipulate the radio propagation environment on demand [21].”

    From Emerging Technologies in Intelligent Metasurfaces: Shaping the Future of Wireless Communications (2026) · cites this paper as [21]

    The Introduction (page unavailable in our copy) says metasurfaces can control the phase and amplitude of incident electromagnetic waves and are built from meta-atoms. It does not establish the more specific claim that an RIS uses low-cost, quasi-passive reflecting elements to manipulate a radio propagation environment on demand. (LLM, conf=0.85)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • Substantial research has demonstrated that RIS provides unprecedented performance gains for enhancing the capacity and coverage of wireless networks in a cost-effective and energy-efficient manner.

    “In past years, substantial research efforts have demonstrated the unprecedented performance gains of RIS for enhancing the capacity and coverage of wireless networks in a cost-effective and energy-efficient manner [20]-[22].”

    From Emerging Technologies in Intelligent Metasurfaces: Shaping the Future of Wireless Communications (2026) · cites this paper as [21]

    The Introduction and Section 2 discuss flexible photonic devices and tunable electromagnetic properties of metasurfaces; Section 4.1 reports RF absorption. Searches for RIS, wireless-network capacity and coverage, and cost or energy efficiency found no passage in our copy addressing the claimed network-performance gains. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
