Engineers Create Pseudogravity to Bend Light, Mimicking Real Gravity

Engineers at Tohoku University have successfully created a form of pseudogravity in photonic crystals that can bend light, similar to real gravity. By deforming crystals in the lower energy region, they were able to manipulate and control the behavior of light, opening up possibilities for advanced communication technologies like 6G. The breakthrough could also have applications in optics and materials science, as well as pave the way for new studies in graviton physics.
