What happened and what to do

Published on June 24, 2026, the Nature Communications paper presents a physical neural network made up of four programmable metasurfaces. The network learns through electromagnetic interactions, without digital models, to focus waves, recognize objects, and perform localization.

A company evaluating physical-computing applications can identify tasks where direct signal processing may be useful and test measurement, performance, and integration requirements. Wendelmaques can structure this evaluation and, where appropriate, implement data collection, monitoring, and analysis tools to support testing.

How the consultancy can help

Wendelmaques can diagnose the opportunity and technical requirements, define an evaluation scope, and implement the collection, monitoring, and software components needed to test the application.
