Old Physics Powers Future Tech | Science News
Scientists are resurrecting a 200-year-old physics phenomenon—the Poisson spot—to create cutting-edge optical skyrmions, stable swirling light patterns that could revolutionize computing and data storage. Using just a laser and a tiny disc, researchers generate four distinct skyrmion types simultaneously, bypassing complex materials and unlocking new insights into light behavior. This elegant, simple method bridges historical physics with futuristic tech, proving that old science can power tomorrow’s innovations. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow…
