The Technion researchers sent laser bursts (pulses) to the edges of the model (the two-dimensional structure) that created the hybrid waves in the material. The researchers discovered that these waves travel at a speed almost 1,000 times slower than the speed of light in free air (and almost 1,000 times faster than the speed of sound in free air).

The journal Science reports on an unprecedented experimental observation made by researchers at the Technion - real-time tracking of the movement of a combined light-sound wave moving through a material the thickness of individual atoms. The researchers succeeded
