## Resource

Podcast #4 of CTN is proud to present Professor Davide Dardari from the University of Bologna where he discusses the use of metaprism materials and smart skins in wireless communication. Metaprism, a concept rooted in metamaterials science, allows for the manipulation of electromagnetic waves depending on their frequency (frequency selectivity properties) and it is promising to revolutionize how we think of non-reconfigurable smart surfaces. Smart skins continue to advance how we are able to attach sensors to humans and things that surround us, bringing to the forefront a wide array of possible applications. What could happen if a smart skin made out of metaprism material is used to manipulate the electromagnetic environment? What type of applications can it serve and what are the challenges that still exist to exploit these concepts? And listen to how they plan to utilize metaprism based communications to celebrate Marconi’s original 1895 experiment. Join us in this informative discussion between Professor Dardari and Professor Kaushik of this very promising research domain.
