The Material Stores a Mechanical Wave
A shape-memory-alloy metasurface gates, delays and separates transient mechanical signals without conventional electronics.
Summary
A shape-memory-alloy metasurface gates, delays and separates transient mechanical signals without conventional electronics.
Temperature-driven phase changes reconfigure dispersion to retain waveform shape while applying programmable delay. The demonstrated framework handles input shaping and frequency demultiplexing; higher-order computing remains a proposed direction.
Why it matters
A shape-memory-alloy metasurface gates, delays and separates transient mechanical signals without conventional electronics.
Limits and context
No additional limitation was separately recorded.
Key claims
