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 would gladly accept the extended headline in place of such an asinine misguidance.

    Thank you. I did say that out loud and it was very funny.

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

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

        Hahahaha, the scientific world will give thanks
