Awesome Science Video of the Week:
Prof. Sir. M. Berry talks about my PhD dissertation topic, Singular Optics, the study of light with holes!
Some light in singular optics looks like a donut, some light bends around corners. Regardless of “what type” of light it is, it has points of zero intensity or phase which we can exploit to do cool shit. Like compute much faster than possible with 1’s and 0’s or make micro/nano machines move and bend to our will.
This is a great explanation, by a very smart man, on a cool topic (at least this shelby-er things so!)
