## Abstract The propagation of plane waves in an isotropic chiral medium (ICM) is investigated. Simple conditions are derived—in terms of the constitutive parameters of the ICM—for the phase velocity to be directed opposite to the direction of power flow. It is demonstrated that phase velocity and

## Abstract The phase velocity of plane waves propagating in an isotropic chiral medium can be simultaneously positive for left‐circularly polarized light and negative for right‐circularly polarized light (or vice versa). The constitutive parameter regimes supporting this phenomenon are established
## Abstract Analysis of electromagnetic planewave propagation in a medium which is a spatiotemporally homogeneous, temporally nonlocal, isotropic, chiral medium in a comoving frame of reference shows that the medium is both spatially and temporally nonlocal with respect to all non‐co‐moving inertia
