Physicists have finally confirmed a phenomenon that sounds like pure science fiction: waves that appear to bounce off a sudden change in time rather than a surface in space. The effect, known as a ...
The interface between two facets of an artificial material known as a “Weyl phononic crystal” can not only negatively refract an airborne sound wave, it does so without reflecting it at all. This ...
Scientists are engineering electromagnetic waves to retrace their temporal paths, a breakthrough in wave physics. This 'time reversal' doesn't involve historical travel but reverses a wave's sequence, ...
