Schematics representing the modulated strontium titanium sulfide (Sr9/8TiS3) lattice. The building blocks of octahedral (O) and pseudo-trigonal prismatic (T) TiS6 units are highlighted in blue and orange, respectively. A repeating pattern of three bright atomic columns, where the Ti and Sr atoms overlap along the viewing direction, can be observed in atomic-resolution high-angle annular dark field images. (Guodong Ren)

How a handful of stray atoms led to a new material that curves light in a record-setting way

A collaborative team has created a unique, record-setting material that can bend one infrared ray of light in two directions.
