For more than half a century, the idea that light or radio waves could suddenly reverse in time sounded like a thought experiment, not a laboratory result. Now, a series of meticulous experiments has ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

For more than 50 years, scientists theorized that an electromagnetic wave could be reflected temporally—not just spatially. Scientists have been unable to confirm the existence of time reflection due ...

New research by University at Buffalo and University of Colorado Boulder mathematicians has uncovered and characterized novel two-dimensional wave patterns — waves that propagate along two directions ...
