Physicists discovered an amazing new trick using special materials to catch and trap light in super tiny spaces β way smaller than anyone thought possible before! Instead of using metal, they found a special pattern shaped like a narwhal's horn that can hold light trapped inside without losing energy. This could help create incredibly powerful computer chips and microscopes that let us see things we've never seen before!
