The effects of structural anisotropy on wave transport can be quite intriguing. Here, the authors capitalize on advantages of ultrasonic experiments to demonstrate that, in a disordered anisotropic material, anisotropy in the propagation of multiply scattered waves is significantly reduced and may even vanish as the Anderson localization transition is approached. These remarkable findings are expected to be very general, as the underlying physics is relevant to all types of waves (electrons, matter waves, and optical and acoustic waves), and they also resolve a puzzling question raised by previous conflicting theoretical predictions.
