Sky’s the limit for cloud-inspired method of guiding light
Published: 1 November 2024
The breakthrough research led by physicists from UofG, allows light waves to be guided around curved paths tunnelled through opaque materials which would normally scatter them in all directions. It could find applications in medical imaging technology and also be adapted to guide heat instead of light, opening up new applications in thermal management for computing systems, and to confine particles like neutrons instead of light waves, which could find use in nuclear technologies.
