Researchers report that hyperbolic wave attractors, structures that trap and concentrate light waves, could be used to build next-generation optical chips. By confining light more efficiently, the approach may improve photonic circuits used in computing and communications. Details of the research and its practical applications remain limited in the available reporting.

- 6Fibre cable cut disrupts internet in Pakistan's twin cities▼Optical fibre cable cut disrupts internet services in twin cities
A cut optical fibre cable has disrupted internet services in Pakistan's twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Users in the region reported slow or unavailable connections, and restoration work is under way. Residents are voicing frustration over the outage and the vulnerability of the network infrastructure.
- 7Ultrafast Lasers Track Material Light Response at Electron Level▼Optica Ultrafast Lasers Reveal Material Light Response Down To The Electron
Researchers working under Optica's ultrafast laser research report that new laser techniques can reveal how materials respond to light down to the level of individual electrons. The advance gives scientists a more direct view of the electron dynamics that underpin light-matter interactions, with potential relevance for photonics, electronics and materials science, though detailed findings remain limited in available coverage.
