'Smart wallpaper' that can boost WiFi signal in your home by up to ten times

'Smart wallpaper' that can boost WiFi signal in your home by up to ten times and allow for even smaller internet-connected devices has been developed by MIT researchers. A team of researchers from the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab, has found a way to create a surface that can reflect and enhance wireless signals. They say this means WiFi can be added to devices that are currently too small to make it viable, or make already-connected devices'more elegant'. This could allow for tiny sensors to detect indoor pollution levels, smaller smart speakers or even'biomedical devices' inside the human body, according to the study's authors.
