Solitons have primarily been observed in settings where the underlying physics is 1D, such as narrow water channels. Now researchers have used a structured light beam to become the first to produce a lump soliton, a mathematically exact soliton in 2D.
Solitons Take Their Lumps in Two Dimensions
Experiments with structured light beams provide the first observation of “lump” solitons, shape-preserving solitary waves in a 2D setting.

From left to right: Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrei Fedyaev, NASA astronauts Jack Hathaway and Jessica Meir, and ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot from France.  The crew of four will launch no earlier than Wednesday 11 February from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida, USA. They will travel to the International Space Station aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, propelled into orbit by a Falcon 9 rocket.   The image zooms in on Europe, as seen by the MTG-Sounder satellite from geostationary orbit, about 36 000 km from the planet’s surface. It was captured on 15 November 2025 by the satellite’s Infrared Sounder instrument, using the long-wave infrared channel, which measures Earth’s surface temperature as well as the temperature at the top of clouds. ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher speaks during interactions with the media at the European Space Conference in Brussels, alongside Director of Space Transportation Toni Tolker-Nielsen, Director of Technology, Engineering and Quality Dietmar Pilz, and Director of Operations Rolf Densing.  A collage of six images, showing different kinds of “anomalous” astrophysical objects. These are galaxies with unusual shapes, among them a ring-shaped galaxy, a bipolar galaxy, a group of merging galaxies, and three galaxies with warped arcs created by gravitational lensing.

Researchers have demonstrated a crystalline mirror coating whose thermomechanical properties surpass those of conventional coatings. Made of gallium arsenide alloys, the new coating could lead to ultrastable cavities for optical clocks and next-generation interferometers.
A Very Stable Mirror
A crystalline mirror coating significantly reduces fluctuations in the resonant frequency of an optical cavity.

Researchers have shown they can entangle and distribute photons with a single, passive metasurface. The feat, which relies on tailoring quantum interference, boosts prospects that photon-based quantum technologies could be miniaturized.
Metasurface Entangles and Distributes Photons
Photons passing through a specially engineered wafer emerge entangled and spread among multiple output channels.

Autre news SWOT d’ailleurs 👇
astropierre.com Astropierre @astropierre.com · Jan 7
Lorsqu'un puissant séisme a frappé la région du Kamtchatka, le satellite SWOT a capturé des images du tsunami qui a suivi.

Résultat : les vagues sont bien plus complexes et dispersées que prévu, remettant en question l'idée que les grands tsunamis se propagent comme une seule vague stable.

In a p-wave interaction, particles collide with each other in such a way that their interaction strength depends on their relative orientations. That inherent complexity prevented the predicted temperature dependence being verified in the lab—until now.
Elusive Quantum Interactions Tracked During Cooling
The temperature dependence of so-called p-wave interactions in an ultracold atomic gas has been measured for the first time.

Researchers have demonstrated a simple laser-based technique for exciting and detecting surface acoustic waves. Because it works at nanometer wavelengths, the new technique will enable the study of a wider range of dynamics in crystalline materials.
Spectroscopy Technique Reveals Nanoscale Acoustic Waves
Imaging using extreme ultraviolet scattering shows that optical pulses can generate surface excitations with spectra that were previously difficult to achieve.
