Scientists tailor light waves to desired frequencies

The ability to control light is vital for many of today’s technologies, most notably in communications and advanced computing. For example, by using materials from mirrors to nanoparticles, scientists can alter light’s speed with refraction, use diffraction to bend light, use electric fields to rotate light’s polarization, and more.
