What the current evidence supports
Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28
Too early to adopt
- Why
- Genuine first-of-kind experimental milestone with honest, quantified results, but it is an 8-element lab proof — research-grade, years from any antenna-system deployment.
- Next
- Track follow-on prototypes that scale past 8 elements and move out of the reverberation chamber into real channels; watch del Hougne/Clerckx groups and the converging BD-RIS channel-estimation literature (group-connected, scaling-coefficient, tensor/FORTE-FORPE).
