Semi-random scattering of lightWhat is the exact path of light inside a highly scattering material like white paint? This is a question that is impossible to answer, as the particles inside the paint are distributed randomly. This, at the same time, is a very attractive property for applying photonics in non-hackable security applications. Still, you would like to have a look inside, to see what is happening. For this reason, researchers of the University of Twente (MESA+ Institute), built a light scattering microcube that is both random and controlled. Contradictory as it seems, this is a way to exactly know what is happening inside. The research results are in Advanced Optical Materials.Read more
Digital skills positively affect children's learning outcomesFindings from 110 studies published in 64 countries point out that digital skills play a key role in children’s and young people’s learning, participation and other opportunities. International research also reveals that the benefits of digital skills apply online and offline, potentially affecting multiple dimensions of children’s lives. There is also evidence that better digital skills can protect children from online risk of harm as well, although this evidence needs to be strengthened.Read more
