Scientists create novel approach to control energy waves in 4D

Everyday life involves the three dimensions (3D), along an X, Y and Z axis, or up and down, left and right, and forward and back. But in recent years scientists, like Guoliang Huang, the Huber and Helen Croft Chair in Engineering at the University of Missouri, have explored a "fourth dimension" (4D), or synthetic dimension, as an extension of our current physical reality.
