On October 16, the International Advanced Laser Alliance was officially announced at the HICOOL 2025 Global Entrepreneur Summit.

In the fields of life sciences, medical research, and materials analysis, the pursuit of high-resolution, low-damage 3D imaging technology has long been a central goal for scientists. While traditional confocal microscopes deliver clear images, they are limited by slow scanning speed, strong phototoxicity, system complexity, and high cost—making them particularly inadequate for long-term live-cell observation.

【Hannover, Germany, September 22, 2025】 — On the opening day of EMO Hannover 2025, one of the world’s most influential events in the global machine tool industry, Micromach attracted wide attention from global industry professionals and partners with its cutting-edge ultrafast laser micromachining technologies.

The Spatial Light Modulator (SLM) is an optical device that dynamically controls the wavefront distribution of light through electrical or optical signals. By altering the orientation of liquid crystal molecules with an external electric field, it can modulate the amplitude, phase, or polarization of light, enabling real-time programmable control of the optical field. Liquid crystal-based SLMs, with advantages such as simple fabrication, low cost, low power consumption, and ease of control, have shown remarkable performance in fields like optical communication, optical computing, and quantum information processing. In recent years, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with optical technologies has sparked a revolution. As a core device for optical field modulation, SLMs, empowered by deep learning and neural networks, are demonstrating unprecedented application potential.

The 12th Gas Turbines Focus Conference and Exhibition 2025 was held at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center from July 16 to 18. Focusing on aero-engines and gas turbines' key areas like innovative design and green development, it showcased cutting-edge technologies and solutions, serving as a platform for industry insiders to decode trends, seize opportunities and expand networks.

AI for Science has been widely recognized in academic circles as an emerging scientific research paradigm, with remarkable achievements demonstrated across multiple fields. As a vital branch of physics, optics’ integration with artificial intelligence stands among the most forward-looking and transformative interdisciplinary directions in the current technological landscape. Consequently, "AI for Optics" and "Optics for AI" have become hot topics in research. AI is playing an increasingly critical role in addressing complex problems in traditional optics, optimizing high-performance optical devices, and advancing practical optical applications. Simultaneously, optics serves as a new platform for artificial intelligence, capable of overcoming bottlenecks in AI development, accelerating the execution of deep learning algorithms, and opening up new possibilities for high-performance computing.
