The metamaterial sensor array has the ability to conform to a spherical surface as shown. The slight separation between the array and the sphere implies that the array is not only limited to a spherical surface but can conform to other curved surfaces. A blown-up view shows capacitive sensor electrodes being embedded within the metamaterial sensor array. Further details can be found in the article, number 2001082, by Jian Zhu, Wen Feng Lu, and co-workers.
