Theoretical Advancement Enables Unprecedented Wave Control
ITHACA, N.Y., Aug. 20, 2021 — Cornell researchers have proposed a new way to modulate the absorptive and the refractive qualities of metamaterials in real time, and their findings open new opportunities to control, in time and space, the propagation and scattering of waves for applications in various areas of wave physics and engineering. The research was conducted by doctoral students Zeki Hayran and Aobo Chen, along with their adviser Francesco Monticone, assistant professor in the school of electrical and computer
