91% Informative

Researchers at the University of Michigan have shown that twisted light can be produced with technology similar to an Edison light bulb.

The finding adds nuance to physics while offering a new avenue for robotic vision systems and other applications for light that traces out a helix in space.

The team has ideas about how to address this, including exploring the possibility of a laser that relies on twisted light-emitting structures.
