Note, in the picture, everything in the green area-- the gold SMA connector, the microstrip trace, the tiny coupling capacitors-- is normal RF stuff. Nothing new. The antenna is on the exposed chip to the right.

As a 30-year veteran RF circuit design engineer, I'm highly skeptical of this article. But they might be on to something. Time will tell.

One of the posters at the phys.org site said, “Warning: Antenna products and research are subject to more snake-oil salesmanship than most other fields,” and I think he’s probably right. I was excited because of the thing about symmetry breaking. I thought some new physics had been discovered. Should’ve known better.
