Learn about the optical rotatum, a newfound structure of light that exhibits a spiral pattern linked with various parts of nature. Patterns exist all around the world, creating unforgettable designs ...

The nautilus is a curious mollusk that's been around for millions of years. They're still around today, but you won't find a living nautilus in Stardew Valley. However, you can come across both ...

Pushing the limits of structured light, physicists report a new type of optical vortex beam that not only twists as it travels but also changes in different parts at different rates to create unique ...

Beams of light that can be guided into corkscrew-like shapes called optical vortices are used today in a range of applications. Pushing the limits of structured light, Harvard applied physicists in ...
