Researchers have developed an innovative imaging technique to visualize the transition of single cells into multicellular organisms in new detail.

Extended reality (XR) aims for "immersion," requiring displays to simultaneously deliver a wide field of view (FOV) and true 3D imagery free of vergence-accommodation conflict (VAC). Researchers in China have reported a near-eye light-field display architecture based on a heterogeneous metalens array. By integrating lens and spatially heterogeneous prism phase designs with nanoimprint technology, the array overcomes the aberration-induced FOV limit of conventional microlens arrays, providing a hardware path for next-generation immersive XR displays.

In the International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, researchers have built a flexible and ultra-fast artificial synapse printed entirely from room-temperature liquid inks that dissolves on demand in six minutes. The work shows that high-performance and brain-inspired hardware does not require extreme vacuum chambers, rare metals, or permanent electronic waste.
