We haven't really noticed it, but apparently the current design for street lights, along with the way that we tell pedestrians its safe to walk across the street, is cluttered. Designer Kisung Lee ...

Physics sometimes borders on light art. An international team headed by researchers from the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light and Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) ...

Physicists have experimentally produced Möbius strips from the polarization of light, confirming a theoretical prediction that it is possible for light's electromagnetic field to assume this peculiar ...

While you can twist physical materials into a Möbius strip—to make chairs, tables and even buildings—until now it’s been impossible to do the same with light. But researchers from the Max Planck ...
