MIT fiber could be woven into glasses-free 3D displays, and battle cancer
- alexchamberlain 15y agoDoes anyone know why the team has only managed to squeeze one droplet of fluid into each fiber?
- mrsebastian 15y agoWell, I mean, the laser would always hit the first droplet, irrespective of how many droplets there are further down the fiber core. I guess that's why the MIT write-up talks about oscillating the droplet, rather than somehow squeezing more in.
- alexchamberlain 15y agoThat's a very good observation!
- tomkin 15y agoThis is funny. A few years ago I read somewhere that we were expected to accomplish the "minority report UI" before the cure for cancer and that the cure for cancer should have been achievable in shorter time. Funny how hellbent we are on seeing it through as a society. Then I see this and I think, have cake and eat it too?.
