Science July26 Quantum photonics promises scalable, secure tech, but current systems are bulky. Congrats Kerolos Yousef for engineering a metasurface that entangles photons using graph-designed metaatoms, paving the way for RT chip-scale quantum computing! share.google/YfsTJ2jtZdL0t6…

Here’s the paper on our 10 cm metalens with which we imaged the total solar eclipse yesterday. The image quality of the nebula, sun and moon exceeds that achieved with more complex telescope optics. pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102…

First image of solar eclipse with a metalens telescope! Taken by my student Arman Amirzhan at a site near Irasburg, Vermont (44°49'50.5"N 72°14'23.8"W) on 4/8/2024. The 10 cm glass metalens was fabricated by my postdoc Joon-Suh Park. Note the flare from the corona near hour 2.

Solitons on demand! We demonstrate solitons that are stable in a ring laser and form spontaneously with tuning laser bias, eliminating the need for an external optical pump. Congrats to a great international team! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Nikola Tesla: The genius Who could see 100 years ahead!
The Next Gen@Top1Rating

@PhysInHistory When wireless is perfectly applied the whole earth will be a huge brain. We shall be able to communicate with one another instantly, irrespective of distance. Nikola Tesla's prediction in 1926 (Tesla died on January 7, 1943)

When drawing water, the sprinkler alters its direction of rotation, leading to a more erratic and slower movement. This behavior is due to the specifics of how fluid moves through the sprinkler's structure. Fluid mechanics is a most complex science! physics.aps.org/articles/v17/15

This is entirely true. Any neural system, any brain, is constantly seeking truth for survival and can find completely unique ways to discover new truths. No two people who can communicate with other people in natural language can escape the gift of their unique knowledge and intelligence. This is the inevitable consequence of the fundamental symmetry of neural computation which is completely absent in von Neuman computing architectures. Truly, we all are constantly find new valuable truths just by interacting socially in the world. This is not my observation. It stems from natural science over 400 years old. medium.com/liecatcher/100…

Exciting AI advance! NY Times quotes lead author Dr. Trinh: “We’re not making incremental improvement,” he said. “We’re making a big jump, a big breakthrough in terms of the result.” “Just don’t overhype it,” he said. nature.com/articles/s4158…
