This laser can't escape the water. Physics won't let it. It's called total internal reflection and it's the same physics behind fiber optic cables.

When light inside water hits the surface at a steep enough angle, it stops escaping and reflects completely back into the water. It’s called total internal reflection, and it’s a reminder that even light doesn’t always travel the path we expect.

This mesmerizing fountain demonstrates a beautiful combination of laminar flow and total internal reflection, transforming an ordinary stream of water into a living fiber-optic cable Unlike a typical fountain, a laminar nozzle produces an exceptionally smooth, glass-like stream by forcing water to flow in parallel layers with minimal turbulence. The result is a crystal-clear arc that remains remarkably stable as it travels through the air

These indie devs are making a friendslop frog game. - 1-8 players - Physics based puzzle platformer - Collect enough food and bring it back to the swamp king - The levels are procedural so it's different every time It's called Frog Sqwad.

I didn’t know about this technique. Grok what’s the physics technique behind it and how it works in long run?

Hidden on this 34-person team: the guy who wrote the physics engine for Angry Birds (Box2D) AND Blizzard's internal physics engine (Domino). "He's so shy and so humble, he was at a GDC talk about Angry Birds physics and just went up and said 'yeah, I wrote that physics engine.'" Also: the Overwatch netcode engineer built their custom networking. This tiny team is stacked.

Remember this interactive architectural project we highlighted in January this year? 🤔 The team behind UE4Arch has turned it into a realistic game called Break Free! Players can simply pick whatever objects are in the scene, throw them, break them, and have fun with the physics. It's available on early access on Steam:

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂ Watch this laser hit the glass-air boundary. At first, it bends out (refraction). Then... boom. Angle exceeds the critical θ_c = arcsin(n₂/n₁) ≈ 42° for glass (n≈1.5), and every photon turns back inside. No leakage. Pure total internal reflection. This is why fiber optics carry the internet across oceans without losing signal. Why diamonds sparkle like crazy. Why light can get trapped in a stream of water.

It's not called river Congo. It's called THE CONGO Because it's not a river, it's a moving lake, the largest widest and deepest moving water on earth. It can provide hydro power to the whole continent

China has raised prices of fiber optic cables, which are critical for drone control, by 2.5-4 times for Russian buyers, according to Russian media. At the beginning of 2025, G.652D fiber, used in telecommunications cables, cost 16 yuan ($2.33) per kilometer in China, and in January 2026, it already cost 40 yuan ($5.80) per km. In 2025, Russia purchased 10.5% of all fiber optics produced worldwide, although in previous years this figure never exceeded 1%. In absolute terms, Moscow purchased 60 million km of fiber optic cable last year. At present, Russia does not have its own fiber optic production, and the only enterprise, Optical Fiber Systems in Saransk, was shut down after a series of drone attacks in April-May 2025. 📹: A web of fiber optic cables from drones in the forests of the Kharkiv region

This indie dev is building a sandbox surfing game with some of the best pixel waves I’ve ever seen. Wow! - Create literally any wave you want - Realistic water physics - Bodysurf, bodyboard, shortboard, or longboard Would you play this? It's called Surf Sandbox.
