World’s smallest OLED pixel could transform smart glasses

Researchers have built the smallest OLED pixel ever made—just 300 nanometers across—without sacrificing brightness. By redesigning the pixel with a nano-sized optical antenna and a protective insulation layer, they prevented the short circuits that normally plague devices at this scale. The result is a stable, ultra-tiny light source that could allow full HD displays to fit on an area the size of a grain of sand. from Latest Science News -- ScienceDaily https://ift.tt/p69xuI5

Teeth smaller than a fingertip reveal the first primate ancestor

Tiny, tooth-sized fossils have just reshaped the story of our deepest ancestry. Paleontologists have discovered the southernmost remains ever found of Purgatorius—the earliest-known relative of all primates, including humans—in Colorado’s Denver Basin. Previously thought to be confined to Montana and parts of Canada, this shrew-sized, tree-dwelling mammal now appears to have spread southward soon after the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. from Latest Science News -- ScienceDaily https://ift.tt/BzhyOrI
