Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, reproducing the quantum Hall effect with photons for the first time. The experiment, carried out on an optical fiber ...

Blue light is a high-energy part of visible light from the sun, screens, and light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs. Your cornea and lens don’t block blue light the way they block ultraviolet (UV) rays.

Now, adding a twisting laser beam that interacts with these electrons makes things even more complicated. And in that ...
