Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
The infection event could have ended in tragedy
We present the scientific story we discovered (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-36123-w) in the form of a drama.
Generation and Decoding Colored Beams Carrying Orbital Angular Momentum
By nanoscale 3D printing, we produced miniaturized optical components processing information in the color and orbital angular momentum of beamlets using only light from a lamp. These colored vortex beams from incoherent white light promise anticounterfeiting through pairwise optical authentication.
