Can entangled photons beat classical light?
🌀 Researchers from @instlangevin.bsky.social & Hebrew Univ map the limits of wavefront shaping in quantum light—showing when it matches, and when it outperforms, classical optics.

Open Transmission Channels in Multimode Fiber Cavities with Random Mode Mixing
The transport of light in disordered media is governed by open transmission channels, which enable nearly complete transmission of the incident power, despite low average transmission. Extensively stu...

CNRS teams have combined matrix imaging + ultrasound localization microscopy to create super-res 3D images of the brain’s vascular network — artifact-free, beyond MRI & CT.
A breakthrough for stroke diagnosis & prevention. 🚀
