Kagome Nanostructure Allows Undistorted Transmission of Extremely Short Infrared Laser Pulses

In a marathon, everyone starts at roughly the same place at roughly the same time. But the faster runners will gradually increase their lead, and in the end, the distribution of runners on the street will be very broad. Something similar happens to a pulse of light sent through a medium.
