Abstract

Where ‘smart’ once implied a computing ability, the term now includes an in-built material ‘memory’ for controlled change in specific conditions. Smart2 antenna for space station communication allows the antenna shape to change to send varying EM signals specific to the recipient. A similar antenna could be used to replace multiple antennas used on airplanes or at airports. It would be quickly and easily tunable to different frequencies. As nano materials increasingly emerge, this dual facility may well be tagged smart2
