Researchers a the University of Central Florida (UCF) in the US have developed a new category of laser beams that could revolutionise optical communications and laser technologies. These new laser beams have properties that are unique and not possessed by standard laser beams. The new laser beams are called ‘spacetime wave packets’. When they refract (which is what happens when light moves through different materials) they follow different rules to standard laser beams.
