In this episode, we cover a spiral-shaped lens that could transform ophthalmology, meta-optics set to advance thermal imaging, and a breathing soliton laser that prompts nonlinear discoveries.
A novel spiral-shaped lens maintains clear focus regardless of distance or lighting conditions. The France-based team that developed it says it’s akin to multiple lenses all in one, and could be an ophthalmology and imaging game-changer.
Studying new states of nonlinear systems, an international team of researchers is looking at a new concept—a breathing soliton laser—to explore the complex synchronization dynamics of nonlinear systems with multiple frequencies.
