Diffraction occurs when a wave encounters an obstruction in its path and will change direction, or wrap around it. In ocean waves, we see this occur when a wave encounters an object like a jetty and ...
Scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be achieved using atomic arrays -- without the need for artificially manufactured metamaterials. Scientists have long sought to control light ...
The work was published in Science ("Gate-tunable negative refraction of mid-infrared polaritons"). Basic principle of the “polariton transistor”. The van der Waals heterostructure is constructed by ...
