The rapid advancement of prevailing communication and sensing technologies necessitates cost-effective millimeter-wave arrays equipped with a massive number of phase-shifting cells to perform complicated beamforming tasks. Conventional approaches employing semiconductor switch/varactor components or tunable materials encounter obstacles such as quantization loss, high cost, high complexity, and limited adaptability for realizing large-scale arrays and operating at millimeter-wave frequencies. Here, we report a low-cost, ultrathin, fast-response, and large-scale solution relying on advanced metasurface (i...
