#Robots move with extraordinary precision. But when something starts to slip, they often realise too late.

Humans handle this effortlessly with our fingertips.

Our Nature Materials paper explores how robots could too. @eng.cam.ac.uk @aria-research.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Preparing my 2025 Day of Light outreach lectures, I bought a glass sphere and made a rainbow. But I saw some odd things, and so here’s a thread with some photos and raytracing pictures. There may well be mistakes so tell me and I'll fix them. First the basic setup showing the primary bow.
