A unique propagation phenomenon of acoustic waves has been discovered, paving the way for developing advanced communication ...

Quantum mechanics is weird. When you think you have reached the bottom of its weirdness, you always discover a new ...

Researchers from the Institute for Materials Research at Tohoku University, in collaboration with the Japan Atomic Energy ...

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 ...

Imperial physicists have recreated the famous double-slit experiment, which showed light behaving as particles and a wave, in time rather than space. The experiment relies on materials that can change ...

Optical solitons represent a unique phenomenon in nonlinear optics whereby light waves maintain their integrity over long distances by balancing dispersion with nonlinear effects. When these solitons ...

New diffraction phenomenon of acoustic waves. A novel asymmetric diffraction has been achieved using a nano-patterned array of ferromagnets. This demonstration arises from a unique interaction between ...

This novel finding regarding the nonreciprocal diffraction of acoustic waves could open doors for next-generation communication devices. A unique propagation phenomenon of acoustic waves has been ...
