A 200-year-old physics experiment could help build future computers

Researchers at NTU Singapore have developed a simple method to generate optical skyrmions by using a 200-year-old optical phenomenon known as the Poisson spot. This technique avoids the need for expensive metamaterials, making these light structures more accessible for future computing and data storage research.
Scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have found a much simpler way to produce unusual light structures known as optical skyrmions by reviving a classic optics experiment that dates back more than 200 years.
