Get ready to breakdown the most egregious perpetrator of jargon warfare in all of science: the title of an academic paper. Each episode, we will sit down with a researcher from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and talk about a recent paper, with the one and only goal of understanding the title.

Broadband and chiral binary dielectric meta-holograms

A very small hologram that can be used across all different wavelengths of light and can be programmed with different images based on the direction of light that works because it's made from a material that doesn't absorb certain light and has other properties not found in nature.
