Hyperbolic Materials Could Tame Chaotic Light and Sound Waves
Key Takeaways
- Scientists report a method to guide both light and sound waves through complex spaces without chaotic scattering.
- The approach relies on hyperbolic materials, whose unusual propagation rules allow directional control of wave energy.
- Suppressing scattering could raise signal-to-noise ratios in sensing and imaging systems.
- Researchers highlight highly sensitive biosensors as a leading application for the discovery.
