Smith Hat Turns Light Into Pinwheels | Science News
Scientists turned the Smith hat—a mathematically aperiodic shape that solved Einstein’s tiling puzzle—into a light-bending marvel. By laser-shining on tiny Smith hat structures, they revealed wild, pinwheel-like diffraction patterns with chiral “handedness,” proving light twists based on the structure’s lack of mirror symmetry. This breakthrough links abstract geometry to real-world optics, unlocking new ways to control light and paving the way for next-gen optical tech.
