The National Science Review recently published a study by Huaping Wang's group at Zhejiang University. Inspired by electromagnetic metamaterials, the research team designed and fabricated a water wave ...

A team of international scientists co-led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have discovered a way to manipulate water waves, allowing them to trap and precisely move ...

Fig. 1 An internationally collaborated group, led by Ikerbasque Professor Konstantin Bliokh (upper-right) in DIPC Spain, Nanyang Assistant Professor Yijie Shen (mid-right) in NTU Singapore, and ...

The comparison of simulations and experimental plots in the case of selective valley excitation of the K1' state. Black arrows marking the propagation direction and dashed triangular lines demarcating ...

A lab-scale model provides a testing ground for studying the breakup of ice sheets or of other thin solids floating on the surface of a fluid. A 20-cm-wide film made of graphite particles floating on ...

A water wave incident on a grooved wall is shown to be analogous to electromagnetic waves called surface plasmon polaritons. The ability of metamaterials to steer light has enabled amazing inventions ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. The best perk of Alberto Maspero’s job, he says, is the view from his window. Situated on a hill above the ancient port city of Trieste, ...
