    Researchers designed an optoelectronic neuron array device that allows nonlinear transmission of spatially incoherent light, essentially paving the way toward advanced all-optical computing.
    Researchers are making strides toward all-optical computing and making access to it, as well as to high-resolution imaging and sensing, easier and more widespread.

    The group’s 3D full-color display method taps an iPhone screen to create holographic images, and their experimental results show a continuous transition from the first layer to the second layer.
    Researchers in Japan devise a three-dimensional (3D) full-color display method that relies on an iPhone, rather than a laser, to create holographic images—and it may prove useful...

    Structures containing different lipid subtypes in the fat body tissue in a fruit fly. Each lipid subtype has a different molecular composition represented by a different color.
    A Raman microscopy-based imaging approach could crack the long-elusive code of lipids, their subtypes, and the key roles they play in human health, aging, and disease.

    FIGURE 1. The team’s “buckled” shells snap under pressure and alter the properties of the metafluid.
    A metafluid with tunable optical properties, compressibility, viscosity, and the ability to transition between a Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid? Yes, really.
