Nanostructured Filaments Produce Bright Light Waves that Twirl as They Travel

Scientists at the University of Michigan say the twisted shape of the nanostructured filaments allows them to generate bright, twisted light. Planck's law ignores, but does not prohibit, circular polarization of blackbody radiation (BBR). BBRs consisting of nanostructured filaments with twisted shapes made of nanocarbon or metal have strong ellipticity between 500 and 3000 nanometers.
