Temporal metamaterials, which can manipulate and rewind waves, are being used to test fundamental ideas in physics. These materials can change their properties rapidly, creating a boundary that acts as a mirror in time. Researchers have been able to manipulate acoustic and electromagnetic waves using temporal metamaterials, and these materials have practical applications in various industries. They also offer new ways to test the behavior of light and explore concepts like quantum friction and the special theory of relativity. However, understanding the effects of time boundaries in these materials presents a challenge for physicists. [Extracted from the article]
