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 ...

DURHAM, N.C. -- Researchers at Duke University and Aalto University (Finland) have constructed a "meta-mirror" device capable of perfectly reflecting sound waves in any direction. The ...

Researchers have constructed a 'meta-mirror' device capable of perfectly reflecting sound waves in any direction. The proof-of-principle demonstration is analogous to looking directly into a mirror ...

DURHAM, N.C. -- Metamaterials researchers at Duke University have demonstrated the design and construction of a thin material that can control the redirection and reflection of sound waves with almost ...

Metamaterials researchers have created a thin plastic structure with geometric details allowing it to control the redirection and reflection of sound waves with almost perfect efficiency.

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 ...
