Happy to share our work published in Nature Photonics: "Threading light through dynamic complex media". We show how to pilot beams of light through the most stable channels within moving scattering media. Special thanks to Chai, Christina & John from the Structured Light Group, Exeter! #PhotonicsπŸ’‘
