A metasurface is an artificial device fabricated with many structural units on a substrate, When you say antenna, you especially refer to an electromagnetic metasurface. Units (unit cells) are periodically distributed as designed, in order to achieve some novel, non-natural functions or characteristics, like controllable phase shift, high absorbance, high reflection and EM wave magnification. Dimensions of unit cells are around or less than a wavelength of incident EMW. Those unit cells can be metallic nano structures or dielectric blocks, and when they respond to incident EMW like electric or magnetic dipoles (with EM resonance and radiation), they can be called metasurface antennas.
