Maybe treknobabble isn't so farfetched after all?

Let's see, in this article, we have scientists using a procedure to turn normal photons into Ridburg polaritons, which then condense into quantum entangled photonic molecules... then in the links to other articles offered below, there's twisted light gaining angular momentum through self-torque, nanophotonic structures that enable artificial vision, and a hyperbolic lattice forming an a coplanar waveguide array! Behold the wonders that SCIENCE has wrought!
