(A) The Scattering Network (inset), efficiently computes multiple scattering in arbitrary structures. (B) Refocusing of coherent waves onto a target deep within a highly scattering opaque material.

Could invisibility cloaks become a reality? New research brings this science fiction concept a step closer, with a breakthrough software package that simulates how waves interact with complex ...

This image is a simulation of a kind of acoustic wave called a Rayleigh-Bloch wave. The stripes of light and dark areas represent the “peaks" and “troughs" of the waves and are shaped by their ...
