The ability to observe at tiny length scales has enabled key advances across the physical and life sciences. Much of what we know about the structure of cells and tissues comes from experiments on the micron length scale, enabled by new microscopy techniques. Modern manufacturing is increasingly con...

An article about our work with North Carolina State University:
http://scienceblog.com/44920/paging-han-solo-researchers-find-more-efficient-way-to-steer-laser-beams/

For many practical applications involving lasers, it's important to be able to control the direction of the laser beams. Just ask Han Solo, or the captain of the Death Star. Researchers from North Carolina State University have come up with a very e...
