#First confirmation of new theory by metamaterial

“#First confirmation of new theory by metamaterial” On the right, a unit cell cutout of the circuit board, which was built to demonstrate the non-Hermitian skin effect, is shown. In (a), the underlying theoretical non-Hermitian model is sketched, which describes the couplings between adjacent nodes. (b) depicts a schematic diagram of the full circuit chain…
