2D atomic materials, such as semi-conductors based upon graphene, have now been shown to exhibit quantum scale interactions with emf sources. Specifically in the range of visible light. The creation of Moire lattices through the torsionary manipulation of 2D structures of dissimilar molecules has been recently reported. These advances suggest to me that nanomaterials might be designed which are able to redirect emf waves in an analogous manner. If such materials were to become technically possible it would present opportunities for improving and perhaps at last realising the high efficiencies needed in endeavours including the maintenance of plasma bottles in fusion reactors and their extraction of heat, efficiency of photon drives, light-sail drives and their steering capabilities, photo-voltaic cell construction and 'invisibility cloaking technologies. To mention a just a few 'visionary' thoughts plucked from the 'blue-sky'.

yes. as long as the mathematical design principles have relevance with the characteristic of sound wave
Mila Ilieva Joko Isdianto : Where would one expect to find a skills cross-over in individual physicists who are as familiar with acoustic waveform characteristics as they are with emf wave forms. I would expect this crossover would be most likely in areas in which high frequency acoustics and low frequency emf have wavelength of the same orders of magnitude are both considerations. Have you any suggestions regarding what fields of interest both of these factors might be a concern, or in which they may become a concern?
anyway.. you can check it up at : https://www.elsevier.com/catalog or https://www.elsevier.com/en-xs. some physicists can be found at the website or their journal in any relevant sciences dicipline cross -over. Good Luck.
