>Instead of making light helix in space, they have devised a way to make it helix in time using lasers with moderate intensities.

That makes no sense, according to the wave equation a helix in time is a helix in space...

It's a phys.org link, it's not supposed to make sense. Invariably, with phys.org you're better off reading the source article or not reading anything at all.

The paper is linked to from the article but here's a shortcut. It's open access:
