Researchers have developed new metasurfaces for the arbitrary manipulation of reflected waves, essentially breaking classical reflection law to engineer it at will. In our daily lives, we can find ...

A wave propagating through an inhomogeneous medium is usually partially reflected, which is often undesirable from a practical point of view. Although the reflection from a sharp interface can be ...

Time reflections, or spatial reflections, occur when "electromagnetic radiation in the form of light or sound waves hit a mirror or wall, respectively," resulting in a reflection, like a mirror image ...

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 ...

Physicists have experimentally reversed electromagnetic waves in time, confirming a theoretical prediction that has stood for ...

THE principle that a regularly stratified medium selectively reflects a monochromatic beam of radiation incident on it at the appropriate angle is well known and forms the basis for the X-ray analysis ...

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 ...
