Phoamtonics (IMAGE)
Caption
In a combination of chemistry, physics and materials science, Princeton researchers found that a type of foam can selectively block light, which is important for next-generation devices that compute with light instead of electricity. A computer model of the foam, above, shows the energy density of light as it passes through the foam.
