Computer-generated holography (CGH) provides an approach to digitally modulate a given wavefront. This technology, partly inherited from optical holography and partly advanced by the progress of computing technology, has become an emerging focus of academia and industry.

The frightening scenes of far-right extremists clashing with police and even rioting in British towns and cities in recent days have many wondering how to stop the spread of the propaganda that encourages racism, violence and misogyny.

Since European colonization, 29 million hectares (54%) of the forests and woodlands that once existed in New South Wales have been destroyed. A further 9 million ha have been degraded in the past two centuries. This amounts to more than 60% of the state’s forest estate. Since European colonization, 29 million hectares (54%) of the forests…
SpaceX shot up three Falcon 9 rockets from three launch pads last weekend once the Federal Aviation Administration gave its grounded rocket the OK to return to flight. Now it’s set to go another round. SpaceX shot up three Falcon 9 rockets from three launch pads last weekend once the Federal Aviation Administration gave its grounded…

Australia’s south and east have seen freezing temperatures and wild weather this winter. At the same time, the continent as a whole—and the globe—have continued to warm.

Astronomers from the Ohio State University (OSU) and University of Hawai’i have performed spectroscopic observations of a recently-discovered binary system known as LAMOST J2354, which contains a dark companion star. Results of the observational campaign, presented July 26 on the pre-print server arXiv, suggest that the unseen object is a massive white dwarf. Astronomers from the…
Have you ever considered how nanotechnology could transform our approach to clean energy? In recent research, we’ve been exploring nanoscale covalent organic frameworks (nano-COFs) that show exceptional potential for enhancing photocatalytic hydrogen production.
