For more than half a century, the idea that light or radio waves could suddenly reverse in time sounded like a thought ...

Physicists have finally confirmed a phenomenon that sounds like pure science fiction: waves that appear to bounce off a ...

Scientists have hypothesized for over six decades the possibility of observing a form of wave reflections known as temporal, or time, reflections. Researchers detail a breakthrough experiment in which ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: For more than 50 years, scientists theorized that an electromagnetic wave could be reflected temporally—not just spatially. Scientists have been ...

Researchers have developed a surprising method to eliminate wave reflections. The method allows the calculation of a tailor-made anti-reflective structure. It can be used, for example, to design an ...

Bound states in the continuum (BICs) are a special class of resonant states. Although they have the same momentum and energy as the propagating modes in free space, yet they are not coupled to the ...

NEW YORK, March 13, 2023 — When we look in a mirror, we are used to seeing our faces looking back at us. The reflected images are produced by electromagnetic light waves bouncing off of the mirrored ...
