 New York NY (SPX) May 22, 2020 
Waves, whether they are light waves, sound waves, or any other kind, travel in the same manner in forward and reverse directions - this is known as the principle of reciprocity. If we could route waves in one direction only - breaking reciprocity - we could transform a number of applications important in our daily lives.
Breaking reciprocity would allow us to build novel "one-way" componen ... more |
