If you've ever had a passing interest in physics, optics, or in geopolitics then this is a story to keep an eye on:

On August 22, 2021, an unknown individual who has a track record of producing novel scientific concepts and inventions shared his then-latest idea: A concept for a camera system based upon new physical principles that enable imaging with zero sensor noise and resolutions in the 20-40GP range.

Upon reading about this concept at 8kun's /x/ board, a location chosen by the inventor for its low-profile and archival function, a researcher named Matias Koivurova published the results of an experiment with a material called an eENZ material. Such a material, his team at Tampere University in Finland established, would perform the proposed task of changing the POLARITY of light using nanoscopic cavities made from this metamaterial WITHOUT adulterating the other properties of the light. According to the article from Tampere, published on October 13, 2021, this would have applications for emitting laser light with very particular properties. It logically follows, however, that in conjunction with a series of nanotubes and a purely optical image processor, it would be possible to build photonic manifolds using a series of these nanotubes, with each cavity on a sesnor modifying the polarity of photons differently (90 degrees, 80 degrees, and so on) and using this property to enable the tubes to route photons down alternative routes in the system, the logic gate at which photons arrive providing information about which aperture or cavity the photon entered through.
