Researchers produce stable laser light that twists like a whirlwind in the lowest energy state using self-organizing torons and a synthetic magnetic field.

The new devices use surface waves and interference to control and examine light intensity, phase and polarization in one unit.

Metasurfaces with quasi-bound states slash modulation thresholds, bringing momentum bandgaps for light to optical frequencies for the first time.

Permanently dark and extremely cold craters at the lunar south pole could host a precision device for navigation and scientific measurements on the moon.

This breakthrough combines quick laser bursts with quantum effects to boost secure data transfer and sensitive detection tools in fields like medicine and environmental monitoring.
