Today, Maxwell¿s equations are exactly 140 years old, and it seems that we have already revealed all there is to know about them. But do we? What new and beautiful physics is still hidden in them? Can a beam bend itself to steep angles, maybe even more than 90°? We have recently addressed this challenge, and found the full vector solutions of Maxwell¿s equations for shape-preserving accelerating beams. Subsequently, we tackled many other challenges where shaping light creates complex and novel phenomena.

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Ido Kaminer received his PhD in physics from the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology. He discovered new classes of accelerating wavepackets in nonlinear optics and electromagnetism, for which he received the 2012 Israel Physical Society Prize for a Graduate Student in Theoretical Physics. He is now a Marie Curie postdoctoral fellow at MIT.
