But now researchers have found that it is possible to alter light's wavefronts and to give them a completely new shape.
But will it out shine the Tac Light?

Yes, and yes.

Does that mean we’ll have to walk on our hands now to see things correctly, or do we just get used to it?

Big deal. I’ve turned light upside down dozens of times; the problem is the bulb won’t screw into the socket and, as a result, upside down light is pretty dark.

"Big deal. I’ve turned light upside down dozens of times ..." The way I figure it, it's just Magneto-Electrical Radiation. That's not upside-down; it's sideways.

Sailors turned over a table.
Big deal.

"Sailors turned over a table." I saw a caterpillar turn over a new leaf. Caterpillars are big into change, you know.

Well, if that caterpillar was about to get eaten by a bird, then he butterfly away.

This technology seems related to the metamaterials that have a negative index of refraction for microwaves. If so one for visible light is almost here.

I have no idea what any of this means.
Not surpised that there are FReepers who do.

...have no idea what any of this means. A meta material is one where the way molcules are arraigned are what is important. Opal is a natural metamaterial.It's composed of silica spheres 150 to 300 nm in diameter stacked like oranges at a supermarket.
Since this is close to the natural wavelength of visible light it plays with that light giving an opal an almost magical fire.
Man made meta materials promises magic we do not see naturally.

Hence the term opalescent. Interesting!

Whatever it was, it took a lot of liquid therapy to re-cage my gyro.

Researchers suggest that the same method can also be applied to other materials, which could pave the way for better sensing and signal processing optical devices.
...
That would be great if there’s a practical application.
