Light-Matter Particle Breakthrough Could Change Displays Forever
https://scitechdaily.com/light-matter-particle-breakthrough-could-change-displays-forever/
This foundational polariton particle breakthrough could lead to significant improvements in displays using an entirely novel approach compared to all previous ones. One significant difference is the ability of each polaritron to emit any wavelength, eliminating the need for separate red, green and blue (RGB) emitters intermixed in a grid. They are also able the achieve significantly greater energy levels, in other words, brightness.

Elegoo Saturn 3 Ultra Review – ACF Resin 3D printer
NOTE: You can use Anycubic water washable 8k resin with this printer.
What is ACF film (Advanced Composite Film) for resin printing?
The ACF Film features a bottom, frosted layer film that creates a softer and less suction force during printing. This remarkable attribute significantly enhances the success rate when printing challenging resins with high viscosity, ensuring exceptional results.
