"nanostructured patterns on flat surface as light receivers/ antennas not adjustable after manufacture, overcome in 2019 using conductive plastics enabling on/ off switching... now, in 2025, up to 10X improved performance by precisely controlling distance between antennas enabling their collective lattice resonance amplifying IR light interaction... future: also for visible light... video holograms, invisibility materials, sensors, biomedical imaging"
