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.
A simple bubble-popping game can assess motor skills in young autistic children
A simple bubble-popping game created by our research team revealed differences in visual-motor skills in young autistic children. These differences were accentuated when autistic children had co-occurring ADHD. This engaging game could be part of a broader and scalable digital autism screening tool.
