Researchers have demonstrated a novel cavity magnonics device that nonreciprocally controls the speed of light, allowing microwave pulses to travel at different speeds depending on direction, which could impact advanced communication and quantum technologies.
Scientists have developed a composite material, consisting of a hydrogel with embedded nanofillers, that can channel mechanical energy in a preferred direction. This material acts in a "nonreciprocal" way, allowing for the utilization of wasted vibrational energy. The researchers demonstrated that the material could make liquid droplets rise within it using vibrational movements. This breakthrough could have potential applications in various fields, such as electricity, photonics, magnetism, and sound, where channeling mechanical energy is challenging.
