Physicists at Aalto University in Finland have developed a new way to send large amounts of information using tiny 'hurricanes' of light, also known as light vortices.
This innovation could revolutionize data transmission by allowing more data to be sent through optical fibers in a smaller space.
The researchers manipulated metallic nanoparticles to produce complex light vortices, which can potentially carry large amounts of information.
This discovery has the potential for applications in fields like telecommunications and could increase data sent over optical fibers by eight to sixteen times.
