TL;DR: An optical process in which the spin angular momentum carried by a circularly polarized light beam is converted into orbital angular momentum, leading to the generation of helical modes with a wave-front helicity controlled by the input polarization is demonstrated.

TL;DR: This work combined quantitative super-resolution nanoscopy with computer simulations to visualize and count nucleosomes along the chromatin fiber in single nuclei and reveal how the Chromatin fiber is formed at nanoscale level and link chromatin Fiber architecture to stem cell state.

TL;DR: The foundations of SPT are described together with novel optical implementations that nowadays allow the investigation of single molecule dynamic events with increasingly high spatiotemporal resolution using molecular densities closer to physiological expression levels.

TL;DR: Bomzon et al. as discussed by the authors presented a Pancharatnam-Berry phase optical element for wave front shaping in the visible spectral domain, based on patterned liquid crystal technology, with the possibility of electro-optically switching between opposite helicities by controlling the handedness of the input circular polarization.
