Twisted Layers of 2D Materials Can Be Used to Propagate and Control Light
An international scientific team has demonstrated that twistronics — the science of layering and twisting 2D materials to control their electrical properties — can be used to manipulate the flow of light in extreme ways. The findings could help drive advances in light-driven technologies including nanoimaging, optical computing, and biosensing.

Ultracold Atoms in Optical Traps Could Form Quantum Rings
Ultracold atoms trapped in appropriately prepared optical traps can arrange themselves in complex, hitherto unobserved structures, according to scientists from the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences. In accordance with their recent work, the scientists said, matter in optical lattices should form tensile and inhomogeneous quantum rings in a controlled manner.

Google to Present End-to-End System for Immersive Light Field Video
Google will demonstrate a system for capturing, reconstructing, compressing, and rendering high-quality immersive light field video, at bandwidths low enough to be streamed over regular Wi-Fi, at the SIGGRAPH 2020 virtual conference. In the new system, wide field-of-view scenes can be recorded and played back with the ability to move around within the video after it has been captured.

Radiometric Accuracy and Commercial UAVs: A Clash of Cultures?
Tue, Jul 7, 2020 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
Data used to infer crop stress and related properties have traditionally been collected by highly accurate electro-optical systems aboard satellites, and validated using other calibrated sensors imaging the same territory. Radiometric calibration methods in the commercial UAV industry have developed differently, often sheltered within the industry's ecosystem. When accuracy counts, do commercial UAVs make the grade? Come join this webinar with Barbara Grant, founder of Grant Drone Solutions LLC, for an overview of relevant issues, and suggestions for the way forward.
