Optical technique that uses orbital angular momentum could transform medical diagnostics

Experimental setup. Credit: Light: Science & Applications (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41377-024-01562-7 An Aston University researcher has developed a new technique using light that could revolutionize non-invasive medical diagnostics and optical communication. The research showcases how a type of light called the orbital angular momentum (OAM) can be harnessed to improve imaging and data transmission through skin … Read more

Top space planes and their shadowy role in orbital war
