A Moebius strip created from laser light opens up new possibilities for material processing and for micro- and nanotechnology. Physics sometimes borders on light art. An international team headed by ...

In their experiment, to produce these Möbius strips, the researchers use a specific, rather exotic, type of light beam: a tightly focused laser beam that they refer to as structured light. Structured ...

Photonics is a branch of technology development that specializes in the creation of devices that can generate, detect or manipulate light. Recently, researchers at Université Paris-Saclay coined a new ...

A Möbius strip can irritate our perception. At first sight, the strip has two sides and two edges just like a normal ring made from a strip of paper, for example. If you follow one side or one edge ...

University of Warwick scientists have shown how to tie knots in liquid crystals using a miniature Möbius strip made from silica particles. By tying substances like this in knots, the researchers hope ...

New research presents a strategy for observing and manipulating the optical Berry phase in Möbius ring microcavities. In their paper, the authors discuss how an optical Berry phase can be generated ...
