Many current wireless communication, imaging and sensing technologies rely on components that convert oscillating electric and magnetic fields (i.e., electromagnetic waves) into electrical signals.

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Controlling how electromagnetic waves behave as they move through space is essential for technologies like wireless communication, radar, and remote sensing. Engineers have ...

The interaction between electromagnetic waves and plasma is a subject of considerable interest due to its relevance in aerospace, telecommunications, and stealth technologies. When electromagnetic ...

Researchers have demonstrated that spin waves oscillating at terahertz frequencies inside antiferromagnetic crystals can generate electrical voltage signals in adjacent metal layers, a result that ...

A new study reveals how targeted electromagnetic waves can disrupt the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, potentially opening doors to innovative disinfection and infection control strategies. Study: ...

Researchers have developed a thin film device, fabricated by spray coating, that can block electromagnetic radiation with the flip of a switch. The breakthrough, enabled by versatile two-dimensional ...

The electronic and magnetic properties of two-dimensional materials both have strong potential for technological applications. Researchers have long assumed that they are distinct phenomena, but ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: For more than 50 years, scientists theorized that an electromagnetic wave could be reflected temporally—not just spatially. Scientists have been ...

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 ...
