Crafting Tiny Twisting Lights with a Micro‑Fluid Tool

June 4, 2026

A new technique lets scientists make tiny glowing balls that twist light in a precise way. The trick uses a micro‑fluidic device, a chip with tiny channels that squeeze liquid droplets into perfect spheres. Inside these spheres is a special polymer that can spin in a helical shape, giving the light
