Revolutionary Crystal Mimics Gravity's Light Bending Abilities

TL;DR Summary
Researchers have created a photonic crystal with pseudogravity, simulating the gravitational pull of a massive object like a black hole. By introducing distortion in the lattice of the crystal, they were able to bend light, similar to how gravity affects the trajectory of light. This breakthrough could have applications in simulating gravitational phenomena and improving telecommunication networks, particularly in the development of 6G communication.
