Researchers have found a way to manipulate special hybrid particles called polaritons—which behave like both light and matter—at room temperature. The breakthrough enables the use of polaritons in high-speed computing and data processing. Polaritons have a property called "spin," which can move clockwise or anti-clockwise on an axis.

Bessel beams have been generated using different methods, such as Axicon lens, digital micromirror device (DMD), etc. Due to the infinite energy requirement of ideal Bessel beams in all space, the generated Bessel beams are more appropriately called Bessel-like beams in practice, which are approximations of the ideal Bessel beams. In this work, we theoretically investigated the generation of Bessel-like beams using annular patterns loaded on a DMD based on the scalar diffraction theory.

A freight crisis at Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport is putting strain on Kenya’s flower and fresh produce exports to Europe. Several international carriers – including Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, and Magma Aviation – have reportedly scaled back their cargo services to Kenya in favour of more lucrative routes for the festive season. For instance, cargo airlines are earning up to $8 per kg on routes from Asia to the US, compared with only $2.5-$2.8 per kg in Kenya.

Metal–organic framework-based hybrids with photon upconversion
Upconversion materials (UCMs) featuring an anti-Stokes type emission establish them as an important category of photoluminescent materials. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are rapidly gaining prominence as a class of versatile materials with favourable physical and chemical properties, including high porosity, controllable pore size, flexible design, and diverse functional sites.
