It has been found that in the media where the dielectric permittivity $\epsilon$ or the magnetic permeability $\mu$ is near zero and in transition metamaterials where $\epsilon$ or $\mu$ changes from positive to negative values, there occur…
The group velocity for pulses in an optical medium can be negative at frequencies between those of a pair of laser-pumped spectral lines. The gain medium then can amplify the leading edge of a pulse resulting in a time advance of the pulse…
One key prediction of General Relativity is that gravitational waves are emitted with a pure spin-2 polarisation. Any extra polarisation mode, spin-1 or spin-0, is consequently considered a smoking gun for deviations from General…
