• Scientists from ITMO Discover a New Way to Create Reconfigurable Topological States of Light

  A team of researchers from ITMO University and Australian National University came up with a new concept of photonic topological structures. Localized states of light in such structures appear not due to the intentionally designed lattice geometry but rather because of spatial variation of particles' properties.
