Researchers studying photonic crystals say they have successfully created a form of pseudogravity that bends light just like real gravity. The new technique could have a dramatic effect on advanced communication technologies like 6G, as well as other applications in optics and materials science that could benefit from a no-contact method of manipulating light.

    I look forward to cwnrtgwpasetoottgdtbls becoming an industry-standard acronym like lasers.

    There’s exciting applications for their longer-wavelength cousins, cwnrtgwpasetoottgdtbms.
