Symmetry’s Edge: Harnessing Hidden States for Enhanced Light Control
![The persistence of perfect helicity-preserving reflection at small angles arises from a balance between symmetry suppression and resonant enhancement, as demonstrated by the scaling of reflection coefficients - evaluated at resonance and off-resonant wavelengths [latex]\lambda_0 = 1 \mu\text{m}[/latex] - and the corresponding quality factor of quasi-bound states in the continuum (qBICs).](https://arxiv.org/html/2606.18012v1/x4.png)
A new study reveals how carefully designed metasurfaces can amplify light reflection by exploiting subtle quantum phenomena, even with slight imperfections in their structure.

Patton Oswalt, in an interview with The Daily Beast, explained what it would take to get him on board for a Ratatouille 2. He pointed to the making of The Incredibles sequel, saying it only happened when director Brad Bird discovered a compelling story. Oswalt wants the same for Ratatouille: a genuinely inspired idea that can’t be ignored, rather than a sequel forced through brainstorming sessions. He believes movies developed that way often feel unnatural.
