This seems like a relevant write-up from a Nature science reporter: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-00968-4 https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-0

  > “This can bring about more applications, for example novel antennas for 6G, using time to combine many antennas in one.” I was hoping for time travel or, at a minimum, reversible computing, but I guess I'll settle for faster streaming of cat videos

    So a time domain meta-material?

    I think the nature author thought the same thing and then added a sentence at the very end, which sums up the rest they did not quite grasp (like me) and sound more like Dr. Who: >Temporal interference and time reversal could lead to new ways of creating time crystals, which are mind-bending structures that repeat periodically, not in space — as ordinary crystals do — but in time. They could also help researchers build quantum computers based on photons.
