Engineers demonstrate metamaterials that can solve equations

Engineers have designed a metamaterial device that can solve integral equations. The device works by encoding parameters into the properties of an incoming electromagnetic wave; once inside, the device's unique structure manipulates the wave in such a way that it exits encoded with the solution to a pre-set integral equation for that arbitrary input.

Researchers argue that the problem that has been lurking in the margins of many papers about touch sensors lies in the robotic skin itself.
