>>paves way for next generation optical technologies and enables deeper understanding of black holes. The Australian team designed an integrated nanophotonic chip that can achieve unparalleled control over angular momentum (AM) of light. The pioneering work opens new opportunities for using AM at a chip-scale for generation, transmission, processing and recording of information, and could also be used to help scientists better understand the evolution and nature of black holes.

While traveling approximately in a straight line, a beam of light also spins and tw...
