AO-LLSM Microscope Achieves Aberration-Free Imaging Across Large Volumes
Scientists have combined lattice light-sheet microscopy (LLSM) with adaptive optics (AO) to capture high-resolution 3D movies of cells deep within living systems. The AO-LLSM microscope enables cells to be viewed in their native multicellular environments, under as gentle illumination as possible, with minimal external perturbation.

New Bose-Einstein Condensate Couples Light with Metal Electrons
Researchers created a new Bose-Einstein condensate, where the condensed particles were mixtures of light and metal electrons (so-called surface plasmon polaritons), in motion in gold nanorods arranged into a periodic array. Unlike most previous Bose-Einstein condensates created experimentally, the new condensate does not need to be cooled down to temperatures near absolute zero.

AR/VR Lens: Measure Displays in Headset
Radiant Vision Systems, Test & Measurement
Displays viewed near to the eye, such as those in AR/VR devices, create immersive virtual experiences. However, as display images are magnified to fill a user’s field of view, display defects are also magnified. Issues with uniformity of brightness and color, dead pixels, line defects, cloudiness, and image position become more evident to the user whose eyes are only centimeters away from display screens.

Whispering Gallery for Light Boosts Solar Cell Absorption and Photocurrent
Researchers have developed a nanoscale coating for solar cells that enables the cells to absorb about 20 percent more sunlight than uncoated devices. The coating, developed by trapping light using an optical version of a whispering gallery, could open a new path for developing low-cost, high-efficiency solar cells with abundant, renewable and environmentally friendly materials.

YouTube Phenom Builds Lasers From Spare Parts
Drake Anthony calls himself a professional mad scientist on YouTube. That’s because … well … he sort of is. Anthony has built his own lasers since he was 12, when he first took apart a green laser pointer, modified it and made it stronger. Today, viewers of his styropyro YouTube channel can see a number of his laser building exploits.
