Waves find order in the chaos of an oddly shaped cavity

Advanced Science Research Center, GC/CUNY
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A new study, published in Nature Physics, demonstrates that waves inside an irregularly shaped cavity made from hyperbolic materials can organize into stable, repeating paths rather than scattering chaotically. The researchers call these structures “hyperbolic wave attractors,” and their findings could eventually help scientists and engineers design new ways to control light, radio waves, and sound in complex environments.
