Physicists guide electromagnetic waves along an infinitesimal line
PHYS.ORG
(Phys.org)—Physicists have demonstrated a new mode of electromagnetic wave called a "line wave," which travels along an infinitely thin line along the interface between two adjacent surfaces with different electromagnetic properties. The...
