Stressing a metasurface with a honeycomb generates an artificial magnetic field for light, which can be adjusted by embedding the metasurface in a waveguide cavity. Credit: University of Exeter Scientists have found an elegant way to manipulate light with the help of Lorentz’s “synthetic” force, which in nature is responsible for many fascinating phenomena, including Aurora Borealis.

This study, published today in Notices of the National Academy of Sciences, concludes that understanding how the ice field breaks as it moves through the rock is vital to understanding when this collapse can occur. In addition to identifying weaknesses in the glacier, Lhermitte and colleagues created a computer model to predict how such cracking and distortion could affect other …
