The Photonics M³ (Manufacturing, Manipulation, Measurement) Conference will be held from 1–4 August in the vibrant setting of Bali, Indonesia, bringing together global experts, researchers, and industry leaders to explore cutting-edge advancements in photonics technologies.

Attendees will engage with pioneering research across five key themes: Information Optics, Biomedical Optics, Meta Optics, Advanced Optical Fabrication and Manipulation, and Ultra Precision Measurement Technology and Instruments. These topics reflect the conference’s focus on bridging theoretical innovation with practical applications in photonics manufacturing, manipulation techniques, and ultra-precision measurement systems.

By fostering knowledge exchange among academia, industry, and metrology institutions, the Photonics M³ Conference aims to accelerate breakthroughs in next-generation photonic technologies. Participants will also enjoy networking opportunities in Bali’s inspiring environment, ideal for sparking collaborations that transcend geographical and disciplinary boundaries.

Dr. Ho Sang Jung and his research team from the Advanced Bio and Healthcare Materials Research Division at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS), in collaboration with Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital, have developed a technology that enables the diagnosis of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis within 10 minutes using synovial fluid.

Altermagnets, which exhibit momentum-dependent spin splitting without spin–orbit coupling (SOC) or net magnetization, have recently attracted significant international attention. A team led by Prof. LIU Junwei from the Department of Physics at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), along with their experimental collaborators, published their latest research findings in Nature Physics*, which unveiled the first experimental observation of a two-dimensional layered room-temperature altermagnet, validating the theoretical predictions in Nature Communications made by Prof. Liu in 2021.

A research paper by scientists at Beijing Institute of Technology presented a CFD simulation method based on biological experimental data to analyze the aerodynamic performance of pigeons during takeoff, leveling flight, and landing in free flight.
