Particularly, the way how the process is driven by light-matter interaction of initiation-inhibition reactions combined with a solid and low-cost hardware as well as an extremely fast structure formation compared to other technologies such as two-photon processes opens up a wide field of business opportunities. I actually never have seen such speed before. Speed, scalability, and the possibilities to combine Photosynthetics’ technology with other (conventional) technologies triggered me to support this startup company.” #ThinkMade PhotonDelta PhotonicsNL SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics Optence e.V.

Refraction is the bending of light as it transitions between different media, caused by a change in its speed. When light enters a denser medium, it bends towards the normal; when it moves into a less dense medium, it bends away from the normal. This explains why objects appear bent when viewed through water. Critical Angle: The critical angle is the point at which light moving from a denser to a less dense medium refracts along the surface, forming a 90-degree angle with the normal. If the incidence angle exceeds this critical angle, the light doesn't refract but instead reflects entirely back into the denser medium. Total Internal Reflection (TIR): Total Internal Reflection occurs when light in a denser medium strikes the boundary with a less dense medium at an angle greater than the critical angle, causing it to reflect completely back into the denser medium. This principle is essential in optical technologies like fiber optics, where it allows efficient light transmission with minimal loss.

Es ist Zeit für Veränderung im #Bildungswesen! "Es gibt überall in den Schulen, auf allen Ebenen der Verwaltung und in der Politik, der Wissenschaft sowie außerhalb des Systems, tolle Menschen und Initiativen, die bereits sehr viel Energie in Veränderungen und Verbesserungen des Schulsystems stecken. Weil das System aber nicht mit dem Umsetzen von Neuem umgehen kann, ist es für alle, die etwas verändern wollen, unglaublich anstrengend. Viele stoßen dabei immer wieder auf dieselben Probleme, die sie aber alleine nicht bewältigen können." Mit den Projekten #adLunas und #MeinBildungsraum will die SPRIND die Transformation im Bildungswesen vorantreiben, die besten Ideen für alle verfügbar machen und eine digitale Infrastruktur schaffen, die alle Bildungsbereiche miteinander verbindet. Was genau sich hinter der #Bildungsmission der SPRIND verbirgt, verraten Jelka Seitz und Johannes Koska, die die Bildungsmission von Beginn an mitgestalten, im Interview auf der SPRIND-Website. https://lnkd.in/eKETw5yG
