Nonlocal artificial materials?
Fake things that aren't from here? 🤨
What would be an example of such a material, since the article doesn't seem to be more specific?

Nonlocal & artificial
Sounds like my girlfriend.
I went to school in Canada. I think I met her once.
I can barely read this article, but I think it's saying that some scientists have come up with a way to create an image source that results in two different images being transmitted simultaneously through a single medium without interfering with each other. What this gets you in practical terms I don't know. Maybe increasing the data carrying capacity of fiber optic cables? 🤷♀️
Is this article written with AI?
I have called out numerous articles for being ai written myself.
This one however reads very human and does not have the obvious tells of ai.
It also uses and describes coherent pictures from the actual research.
The “wormhole, multiple realities” thing is hyperbolic, the researchers even directly state that that is not really what is going on but the analogy might help people grasp what is actually going on.
I have been interested into “nano composite/meta materials”for a while, personally labeling it the most important technological breakthrough to date.
What this research has found was theoretically expected, it significantly lifts me up to read we managed to demonstrate it in our lifetime.
