Researchers from the University of Michigan have developed a new type of incandescent light bulb.

The device is capable of emitting elliptically polarized light, described as "twisted" light.

The bulb produces this twisted form of polarized light due to the intricate engineering of the filament itself.

One of the most promising uses of this technology is in robotic vision systems.
