(Phys.org) —A team of researchers at Kyoto University in Japan has discovered a way to capture and hold electromagnetic waves inside of a metalmaterial and then release them. As the group describes in their paper they've uploaded to the preprint server arXiv, the process involved creating a metamaterial with two different types of capacitors—one that absorbs or radiates waves and another that traps them.
